Another short trip, to look for fungi between squalls of rain. I was keen to head back up to Ferndale Park at Chatswood to look for fungi, but it was a bit difficult getting up there. There was a lot of trackwork on the railways which made things difficult. But I worked out a solution – bus to Sydenham, train to Town Hall, then a bus to Chatswood from outside the QVB. This worked out OK, except the bus was quite slow. All the way up, I watched the rain radar, and when I arrived it looked like I would have a reasonable amount of time before the next rain came.
The fungi turned out to be quite good, and there was plenty to photograph. But the rain did come back a bit too early, and I had to curtail my activities before I wanted to stop. But it was still worth all the effort to get there.
Here is some that I found –
Calocera sp.
Russula sp.
