Lane Cove River Fungi – 5 June 2024

This was a return visit to spot I had already been twice previously to look for Parrot Waxcaps (members of the Gliophorus psittacinus group). On the last visit, I had seen  one, but had found six on the first visit. Would more be out?

After a lot of searching, I spotted one of the Gliophorus psittacinus group. See the photo above and below.

In searching for these, I had found a lot of the usual fungi seen in this spot.

Perhaps Clavulinopsis corallinorosacea

Quite tiny – Clavulinopsis sp.

Cuphophyllus austropratensis

Ramariopsis simplex

Clavulinopsis amoena

Hygrocybe reesiae

I like this tiny fawn coloured coral – Ramariopsis sp.

And is this a different species or one that has been infected with a mould?

Geoglossum sp.

Clavulina cinerea

Corybas Orchid

Russula rosea

Cortinarius rotundisporus and Cortinarius sp.

I think this is very young Hydnellum fraudulentum

These may grown and coalesce  into a much larger fungus. I will need to come back and see if it progresses and forms spines.

Cortinarius rotundisporus

Ramaria lorithamnus

Cortinarius austrovenetus

Cortinarius archeri

Omphalotus nidiformis

This had been a short but very interesting visit.
