Sassafras Gully Fungi – 20 May 2024

After some recent very good trips finding fungi in Birdwood Gully on the north side of Springwood. I thought it worth checking out some of the gullies on the south side. So I travelled up to Springwood by myself and set off down to Fairy Dell and Magdala Creek. I then reached Glenbrook Creek and walked upstream to Sassafras Gully, and then walked out via the track to Sassafras Gully Road. The fungi was quite reasonable.

First, here is some fungi from Magdala Creek.

High up, I often find Hygrocybe reesiae. I certainly found a lot of it here –
