Fungi at Mt Wilson and Mt Tomah – 28 May 2015

I was up the mountains with Digi Dave. The day before we had gone to Coachwood Glen to photograph the amazing fungi there. After that we had gone to the Family Hotel at Katoomba for dinner and then camped near the barrier on the Narrow Neck Road.

I got up early, hoping for a good sunrise. I thought my hopes were bit unrealistic, as it had been quite windy during the night, and wind means no valley mist. This was almost right – there was a tiny bit of mist in Megalong Valley and some down over Lake Burragorang, but almost none in the Jamison Valley. Nevertheless, I walked a short distance to a lookout and waited for the sun to rise. The sunrise was nice but not super spectacular.

I then returned to the campsite, and we slowly packed up and headed to Blackheath for breakfast, and then continued on to Mt Wilson. I though their may be some good fungi out in the rainforest near the Waterfalls Walk. There was some fungi out – but not that much. By lunchtime we were ready to head off to another location.

After lunch we headed down to Mt Tomah and spent the rest of the day at the Botanic Gardens. I wandered around in the rainforest looking for fungi while Digi dave was happy to photograph some of the amazing flowers.
