Lovely photos. We are eagerly awaiting the now (very) late, early-Autumn rains here in the west, so as to explore the Darling Range fungi.

yes, very nice.
Love that light coming through them in No 2.
Sure is dry here. Best I have seen were some frizzled and black fungi that had appeared but wilted quickly.
Even our paddock mushrooms pop through then wilt.

Dry dry dry here but still some fungi to be found.
Perhaps Scarlet bracket fungus,
Pycnoporus coccineusand a perennial fungi.
Perhaps Phellinus robustusIt adds another layer each year until it exhausts its food supply. I hear of some dozens of years old.

Great Pics; colours, lights. Fungi can be so prolific at times. In the rainforests of the Otways (Great Ocean Road) normally the best time is mid Autumn, but much later this year. Cheers.

Lovely pics. Funny how fungi can make you lie on the forest floor, climb over huge fallen timber, scratch your way up steep slopes or take risks down embankments. Some fungi are small and shiny, making you wonder about the truth of fairies. others can be humongous and so ugly. They are all worth adding to your library. I recently spent a whole day with Ken Smith, a free motion sewing machine embroiderer. It took me all day to produce three little fungi specimen on my machine. I think chasing the real thing in the forest and capturing an image a far easier option, so I will keep looking.

Hope you don't mind me adding to this thread. Between bouts of wild wind and rain here in Melbourne, we dashed out to Churchill National Park for a quick walk yesterday and came across these.

Sorry Ian, I did reply but it didn't show for some reason.
The blue one was at Lemonthyme on the secret falls walk.
They have been quite prolific this year, in comparison to recent years.
This year has turned out to be the best since 2009, it was just later than usual.
Cheers
