Not much to report from last weekend , was still a bit dry up in the higher hills.

 

[BIGCOL]

This probably shouldn't be posted here as the forum is bush fungi, but I saw this at work today and thought I would show you guy's.

Mum and bub fungi.

On Yesterdays trip up to Mt Torbreck , we saw lots of fungi sprouting up everywhere.
Some Jelly Bell's taken the photo upside down so you can see the shape from underneath

Normal View from the top.

Another great find was some early stage Starburst Puff Ball's , when they burst at the top through a hole the skin peels back like a starfish shape with a hole in the top where they blow out all there spores. At the moment they are everywhere , I have plenty of photos back in the thread of expended ones.

Another Puff Ball , in later stage with hole in top , ready to split up and blow , the top skin is a covering of the inside, very cool .

 

[Spooner]

Some other nice variety photos we took.

New growth busting out.

 

[Spooner]

These were the most interesting find of the day , very very tiny and bright new growth

 

[Spooner]

All in all a great day out Fungi Hunting

 

[BIGCOL]

Wow amazing photos Rick! Just when I thought I knew the memorial, the track and everything around it like the back of my hand!!

 

[BIGCOL]

Not as radical as yours Rick but these popped out on my nature strip a few days back.

Thanks Anthony , the conditions are perfect up there for them and this time of year all the new growth starts coming up after summer.
Its a whole new world at your feet , lol , literally the forest floor is a living thing

 

[Spooner]

thanks for showing us.

Should be a bumper year Col ,
We are a lot more attuned this year as to finding good spots than last year when we started doing this.
Its like anything , look and learn
Always hoping to find something special that we haven't seen before makes it a lot of fun.

Quick hike through the brindabellas today scored us these

And yes the last one isn't a fungi... But we thought it was pretty cool... And not just because it was snow up on the peaks
