I headed down to Royal National Park with Sue and Valerie, with the intention of finding lots of great fungi along Bola Creek. Well – little did we know that the creek was high and dangerous to cross, so we didn’t even try, and also – their had been massive flood – and a lot of good fungi habitat near the creek had been scoured. Leaf litter washed away and deposited in great heaps in other places. Higher ground was still very waterlogged and this is not conducive to fungal fruiting. But we made the most of it – and walked around the Forest Path, and had an interesting day.
Walking down Lady Carrington Drive we found this nice Stinkhorn – Aseroë rubra –
Hymenopellis gigaspora
The following where found near Bola Creek –
Hygrocybe sp.
Porpolomopsis lewelliniae
Clavulinopsis amoena
Cuphophyllus austropratensis
Mycena sp.
Armillaria sp.
And now along the Forest Path.
I think this may be imperfect fungi (the asexual stage) –
Corybas orchid

Many thanks to Sue and Valerie for helping find some great fungi, and special thanks to Valerie for driving us all down and back.
