Seas flat, fungus funnelled

There has been quite a bit of sensationalist reporting of monster waves for Victoria.  Looking at the BoM wave height forecast shows this to be an exaggeration.  The monsters were (a) actually off shore and (b) the shore they were off was the South Coast of Tasmania.

This clip shows the forecast for 1300hrs on 26 April.

 By 1600 there looks to be some action around Mallacoota

.. which increases by 1900 to the 5-6 metre mark.

This seemed to be worth a look so we took ourselves off to the cliffs from Fisherman's Point to Quarry Beach.  The wind was high, and a squall or tow was around, generating a rainbow.

There was a steady swell but nowhere close to 3-4 metres.

Confident that it was safe we went on to the beach.  The word that springs to mind is "flat".

Looking through my binoculars some large white caps were visible on the horizon.

Peering closely at the 1600 wave forecast it does appear that the dark green area is a little off shore,  So drat, move along, nothing to see here.  Not quite true: a string of 14 Gannets flew past and 2 Bottlenosed Dolphins cruised by (without a photo op).

On getting back to the clifftop track there was a good crop of fungi  I think these first images are all of Omphalotus nidiformis.

I have no idea of these generic items.

This is a bolete but all species in my references have yellow, rather than red pore surfaces.
