Sue and Valerie joined me for day at Springwood, where we walked down Birdwood Gully – on search for fungi and orchids. The fungi was not super abundant – but we did find a nice variety of species.
On the way down, we found some fungi out –
Oudemansiella gigaspora
Perhaps Collybia sp.
Wasp Orchids – Chiloglottis seminuda
Now – lower down – along the creek.
Rimbachia cf. bryophila
Phaeoclavulina abietina
Clavulinopsis sulcata
Hymenotorrendiella eucalypti
Trichoglossum hirsutum
These bald clubs were ver hard to spot. We later pointed them out to another party that was looking for fungi. And they later told us where to look for some yellow coral fungi that had found, that we had missed.
Tremella sp.
Hygrocybe sp.
This visit, we only found a few waxcaps – and they were all red. There were none of the blue Entolomas remaining that we had seen in profusion on previous visits.
Boletellus sp.
Cyptotrama asprata
Small grey discs growing on a stick –
Cantherellus concinnus
Very old Phaeoclavulina abietina (infected with mould)
Clavulinopsis amoena
Omphalotus nidiformis
Hygrocybe sp.
Austroboletus lacunosis
Earthstars – Geastrum triplex
Boletellus sp.
Cantherellus concinnus
And some more orchids –
Pterostylis acuminata
Wasp Orchid – Chiloglottis seminuda
Pterostylis acuminata
Walking back, we spotted this nice patch of Clavaria zollingeri that we had missed earlier.
Clavulinopsis sulcata
Zooming in, you can see some of the small animals living on the fungus –
Phaeoclavulina ochracea
Tylopilus aff. balloui
It had been a very pleasant day out. Many thanks to Valerie and Sue for great company on the day.
