We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am
Last week the weather was not the best for hiking. However, a combination of strong wind and light rain showers did not deter everyone and we had an interesting time checking out the great numbers of different fungus species in the Bobs Lake area. I don't ever remember having seen so many large fresh specimens of the common edible Lactarious species, and the chanterelles seem larger than usual although not all that abundant.
My photo this week is of a fungus that is not an edible variety, and as I have not been able to get a name for it yet I would certainly not collect it. It looks somewhat similar to a poisonous kind and the only reason I post it this week is to show it's striking deep red colour.
We have not had any frost yet, even on the high ground probably, so there should still be lots of interesting mushrooms in the forest this weekend.
