Fotos of Phungus

 This starts with a set of images of fungi beginning with those seen on a walk up the Narrows on 19 May.  I have put the images on iNaturalist in the hope of getting some IDs: the AI on that site couldn't get past "Kingdom Fungi".

The first two images are of a large cluster on a stump beside the water.  They have been identified on iNaturalist as Omphalotus nidiformis - the phosphorescent Ghost Fungus.


The stipe for this one had failed.  Genus Oudemansiella
Genus Gymnopilus
This is to show the pattern of the gills in the lower broken-off part.

Family Mycenaceae
Genus Parasola
A bracket fungus, well endowed with algae appearing green.
The lump on the ground shows the original colour of the fungus to be orange.  iNaturalist has named this as Trametes coccinea Southern Cinnabar Polypore.
The next image is from the side of Lakeside Drive near Fisheries Jetty on 20 May.  This is Coprinus comatus (Shaggy Mane).
The next is from the start of the path down to Pebbly Beach.  Clearly a puffball but quite small.
