Meppstas 4,964 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Seeing it was a cool sunny day and I was feeling a little bored I two my two cameras to Gowrie Park in the hope if may find some fungi to photograph.. Well I did manage to find a few fungi here and there as I wandered through the rain forest in what was very cool, damp conditions just below Mt. Roland. I just love going there as the air always smells fresh as ever.. O'Neils Creek which flows through it had a nice flow to it as well and It was great to sit on a log next ti the fern lined creek for some 15 minutes and take it all in.. very refreshing for the mine, body & sole.. So here's a few of some 50+ photos taken this afternoon... There wasn't a real lot of fungi around today which was a shame.. still got a few good photos I think.. cheers Adrian O'Neils Creek at Gowrie Park.. All the fungi I found today, not a lot but enough for some photos.. A couple of moss pic's Took all the colour out of this and filtered out the red which made them pure white..

doobie 5,802 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 It would have been nice just sitting there without a care in the world - quiet and just listening to nature and you can't beat that BarneyB and Meppstas 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meppstas 4,964 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 That's an interesting write up Barney and it's it's been found here in Australia too.. Well one species of it has and more than likely in the North of Australia.. The range of Phallus indusiatus is tropical, including Africa (Congo,[21] Nigeria,[31] Uganda,[32] and Zaire[33]) South America (Brazil[24] Guyana,[34] and Venezuela[35]), Central America (Costa Rica),[36] and Tobago.[37] In North America, its range is restricted to Mexico.[38] Asian localities include Indonesia, Malaysia,[39] India,[8] Southern China, Japan,[22] and Taiwan.[40] It has also been collected in Australia.[41] cheers Adrian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
