Photo Diary
I had very limited opportunity to photograph nature, let alone insects or animals. As a result, I revisited my personal archives and selected this image, which was taken nearly twenty years ago. At the time, it was captured using a very early and relatively basic Pentax DSLR.
Linking Saturday Critter
A dense cluster of small, conical mushrooms was observed growing from moss-covered, decaying wood at Lake Sanitarium, Mount Macedon, Victoria, in a shaded, damp montane forest. The caps measured approximately 5–20 mm across, deep wine-brown in colour, finely striate, and hygrophanous. Stipes were slender, fibrous, and darker toward the base. The species is likely a wood-inhabiting Mycena, though precise identification would require spore print analysis and microscopic examination. It is saprotrophic and plays a role in wood decomposition. Consumption is not recommended.
