Amazonian Posted July 6, 2011 I love the first picture with the grassy green moss growing amongst the golden fungi . It looks very fairy tale like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted July 7, 2011 Beautiful shots. Love the jelly fungi in the last photo, they look like tiny livers. I'd say they're Ascocoryne sarcoides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tas75 Posted July 7, 2011 The 10th picture, 4th from the bottom, look a lot like a Galerina. Not 100% sure though. Beautiful shots! I think the purple one is a Cortinarius that's also pretty common down here, and has been mistaken on occasion for Lepista nuda. The red ones with a white stem are Russula. I've eaten a few Russula in Europe, but never in Oz, and some can make you puke. Cortinarius I'd stay well clear of (some have orellanin and are deadly), and of course the Galerinas could also be deadly, with amatoxins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tripsis Posted July 8, 2011 Is that a Macrolepiota sp. in pic 6? yes it is It looks like a Lepitoa species to me. How big was it? That orange colouring on the pileus doesn't look right for any Macrolepiota I know of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myco Posted July 9, 2011 It looks like a Lepitoa species to me. How big was it? That orange colouring on the pileus doesn't look right for any Macrolepiota I know of. sorry guys i actually had both names written down so it could be either im not very familiar with these species im not to sure on wat the differences between them are if anyone wants to shed some light on that would be helpful i would say the size was roughly maybe 10 - 15 cm high and the cap was probably about 6 cm across Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
