It’s been raining for the last couple of days. With a touch of humidity. Perfect weather for fungi spotting. Observed these ink caps in a flower bed on campus.

World Science Festival Brisbane 2017 – 25 March
I blogged about my first day of volunteering at the World Science Festival Brisbane here. Now for a rundown on Day Two of volunteering. My one and only shift for the day was with the Microbiologist Apprentice program at QIMR Berghoffer where high school kids and their parents looked at the anti-microbial properties of plants, and used a fluorescent product to detect if the bacterial cells were…

Friday Fungi Foray - 24 March
Friday Fungi Foray – 24 March
The weather in Brisbane has been hot, humid and rainy for the last few days – ideal weather for fungi and for fungi spotting. Last Friday, 24th March, my eyes were pealed on my walk to work and during my lunch break for any and every kind of fungi. Mushrooms galore, chanterelles, mycena, bird nest fungi, plate fungi and slime mould, but no stinkhorns. Â

Fairy Ring & Marvellous Mushrooms
As I took our dog for his morning walk and I was rather chuffed to see a myriad of mushrooms and even a fairy ring in a local park. I have not observed a fairy ring in this park before. Pretty cool, I thought!

Fungi foray on the way to the bus stopÂ
I spotted the fungus – one of the most spectacular of all fungi – the lattice stinkhorn (Colus pusillus) in a damp native flower bed beside the footpath. My morning, filled with sad goodbyes to my partner and dog, had suddenly got brighter! Nature never ceases to amazing me and uplift my spirits. Lattice stinkhorn (Colus pusillus) spotted at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland,…

Friday Fungi Spotting - Fairy Ink Caps
Friday Fungi Spotting – Fairy Ink Caps
This afternoon I spotted some fantastic specimens of Coprinellus disseminatus commonly known as Fairy Ink Caps in a flower bed, in a location that I hadn’t seen them in before. I have observed this fungi before and have blogged about it as well here. In 2014 in a violent storm two trees in the flower bed came down and I’m assuming the fungi is growing in the remnants of the tree stumps. These…

A good reason to get back into blogging – FUNGI
It’s been a while since I have blogged. Life – overseas trip, time spent with our dog Harry, major life changes, and side projects have got in the way. I finally bit the Twitter bullet and took to active tweeting at @SapphicSci and my other alter egos @LipstickLabCoat and @GildaCorday. My side project, Ferocious Cabaret, a local community group in Brisbane, Australia, has gone through a relaunch…

Fungi Spotting – 7 April 2016
While working back to my office from  training session, I noticed some Stinkhorn fungi in a flower bed. In fact there were multiple specimens of two different species of Stinkhorn fungi located in close proximity to each other (see fourth photo) – Asteroe rubra – a red star shaped Stinkhorn fungus  Phallus rubicundus – a red phallic shaped Stinkhorn fungus          Â

Wallum Banksia
Wallum Banksia (Banksia aemula) on the banks of Currimundi Lake near Caloundra. The gnarled twisting branches of the banksia trees against the aqua blue waters of the lake is certainly eye catching.        For more information on the Wallum Banksia, check out this Wikipedia article.
