Sassafras Gully Walk - 19 March 2014

I thought Sassafras Gully would be a good place to photograph fungi.
It sure was! There was a lot of fungi out - but much of it was
fairly common and dull types (white mushrooms). My route was down
the track from Sassafras Gully Road at Springwood to the main track,
then downstream to Glenbrook Creek and then to the Perch Ponds. Then
a sidetrip downstream to the junction of Western Creek and up to the
Sharks Head Cave (part way up the ridge to Lost World Lookout), then
back and up Magdala Creek to Springwood.
Note - there are quite a few photos of fungi. I have tried to
identify them from books and the internet. I am not an expert in
this - and probably many of my identifications are wrong. I would be
grateful if anyone picks up any errors or can identify the
uncaptioned ones.
