Fungi

Fungi on the Woompoo Circuit walk at Mapleton. I have done the walk a number of times, but this is the first time I've seen fungi growing.

Beautiful capture and POV. They are "Golden Curtain Crust", or Sterium ostrea fungi. I have seen them in Vic. and Tasmania. Lovely to see them up in QLD.

@ethelperry Thanks Ethel. I have certainly seen them before - and further north in Qld too - but didn't know what they were called.

@ethelperry @jeneurell thanks for the name of the fungi...think I might have seen some this morning in Cooktown... like your photo Jenny...lovely

@hrs Thanks for reporting that find, Jenny. The ones I have seen in Far East Vic. Were in a small area of rainforest. These fungi may be more prevalent up north.

@ethelperry @jeneurell @hrs @ethelperry Thanks for the comments and info. These were in Mapleton Falls National Park.

Sorry, I think I mixed up names and replies. Ooops, but I love seeing and sharing info on fungi
