Mycena lampadis Luminous Mushroom
I had the pleasure, this week, of introducing our local state member – Phil Reeves MP, to one of the extraordinary and little known features of our unique mountain habitat – Luminous Mushrooms Mycena lampadis.
A lucky photograph, with a torch lighting a snail having a mushroom meal, also caught a group of mushrooms glowing in the dark. I don’t have an identification on snail yet however I will have a look at Semislugs – Family Helicorionidae – thanks to Helen Schwencke, Butterflies & Other Invertebrates Club.
Jon Kloske took some amazing photos like this amazing shot of mushrooms growing in a line on a rotting log over the track.
The mushrooms were first reported in January last year and at the time featured on 612ABC with Kelly Higgins-Devine.
Firefly Gully is one of the wildlife corridors identified in the 2011 Flora, Fauna and Fauna Corridor Assessment, and now being restored by property owners.
