Sassafras Gully Walk - 19 March 2014

All images © David Noble. No image can be used for any purpose without permission.

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.
