The second fungi trip in North West Tasmania was to a favourite place to look for fungi – The Castra Falls circuit. Again, I was accompanied by my sister who spotted a lot of the fungi we found.
We started from the Silver Falls side. The waterfall almost had no flow. It has been quite dry in this part of Tasmania recently. But despite the dry conditions, a fair bit of fungi was observed. Here is some –
Rickenella fibula
Flammula velutipes
Polypore –
Ascocoryne sarcoides
Slime Mould – Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa
Cortinarius sp.
Clavulinopsis sulcata
Helotioum tasmanicum species complex
Perhaps Henningsomyces candidus –

We had a most fascinating visit to the circuit. Many thanks to my sister for driving out, and to the locals who maintain the tracks. Also to Genevieve Gates for some i.d’s.
