The rain this year has bought out an amazing range of fungi in our forest. We have also been lucky to have a visiting fungi expert, photographer and author, Duane Sept, visiting from Canada.
Duane’s visit prompted this month’s article for the Southside Community News – Forest Fungi – not just what you see.
Using categories developed in discussion with Duane, I have now added a Fungi category into the MEG publication Flora & Fauna of Mt Gravatt Reserve – Sue Jones & Michael Fox.
See some of the special forest fungi found in Mt Gravatt Reserve:
- Fleshy Pore Fungi
- Polypore (Word Decay)
- Stinkhorn Fungi
- Bird’s Nest Fungi
- Puffballs
- Mold

Hello, I have glowing mushrooms growing in a date palm near my front door at Burpengary and I love the photo showing the comparison between day and night glowing mushroom.

Great to hear Janice. Do they just come in rainy season like ours?
The night day photos are just with anc without torch light.
