Fungi in…spring?
I am a big fan of photographing Tasmania’s wonderful fungi and as everyone knows, fungi = autumn, right? Well, as it turns out, fungi = anytime really…
Flammulina velutipes. A very healthy looking clump found just as you enter the tall ferns near Russell Falls.

On a recent trip around Tasmania I found a few fungi species including a beautiful pink one I don’t seem to have noticed before, and another one called an “eyelash” fungi, again, another one that I dont seem to have noticed before.
A lovely pink grouping of Hygrocybe cheelii, a vibrant pink spring fungi. Found on the Philosopher Falls track.

Thanks to some of the friendly folk on the “Tasmanian Fungi” facebook group I have been able to ID them too 🙂

By the way – and this is probably a long shot – but if anyone visiting the Philosopher Falls track recently has found a Pentax-branded lens hood, that’ll be mine (for my macro lens). If you have found it and can get in touch I would certainly appreciate it!
