Styx Valley Fungi Fun
It is mid winter – apparently – the warm weather feels like winter didn’t really happen this year – and all of a sudden I’ve noticed a lack of fungi photos in my blog lately! So I present these Styx Valley fungi finds from a few visits over the autumn months.
Leotia lubrica, also known as jelly baby fungi! Growing right out of the base of the Styx Valley Big Tree
Hygrocybe firma, a reasonably common – but brilliant, red fungi.
Macrotyphula juncea. Not one I’d seen/photographed before.
Mucronella pendula – very nice little “icicle” fungi
Mucronella pendula. I had only seen this once before today, but saw heaps this time!
Clavulinopsis amoena
Mycena interrupta – everybody’s favourite little blue mushroom 🙂
The line of delicate white strands was what I really wanted to photograph however – we christened them “Angel Hair” fungi but perhaps they are a type of pin mould
Brown ones like this are always tricky to ID… Might be (also might not be) Kuehneromyces brunneoalbescens
Not for eating…
Russula persanguinea – another very common one but always photogenic. This time the tiny little munchkins crawling all over it really caught my attention. I even took video.
I’ll share some more from other parts of Tassie shortly too. It has been another great fungi season!
You can check out my “Mushroom Art” gallery for more fantastic fungi photos too – and if you’d like to purchase a print or even a digital file, please contact me.
