Sassafras Gully Fungi – 12 July 2016

This was my next fungi walk along Sassafras Gully at Springwood to investigate the changing fungi there. I was hopeful that more fungi had come out, in particular I was hoping to see a lot more waxcaps out. On the trip, I did see a fair range of waxcaps out, but no where like the quantity of them I had seen last year.

As usual I entered the gully via the track at the end of Sassafras Gully Road and exited via Mandala Creek and Fairy Dell.
