Back to Seven Mile Beach NP : May 7 2024
A better night - no sore throat and rain has eased off a bit. Did sleep better. Cold has gone to the next stage - sniffly nose - one more day. Rain started to build - was looking at forecasts and maps to go south. Not feeling up for a drive - stay here until the cold has gone
Did get out for a walk - drove to the start - first photo is the symbol of Seven Mile Beach NP - native violet
Walked in on a different access path from the parking spot - found some greenhood rosettes
A day for mushrooms - no surprise after all the rain
All sorts of shapes and colours
Mostly round
First of the acianthus orchids for the season - pixie caps orchid
Buds on helmet orchids are a bit further developed - can see the spots now
Budding greenhood
Acianthus bonus - pollinator is almost the size of the flower
More variety in the mushrooms
Closed and open
A different pollinator story on the acianthus - the fly is lurking up there but the pollonia is clear - the yellow blob
Helmet orchid a but further developed - corysanthes aconitiflorus
Was a mushroom day - wavy and pink
Got a side on photo of the helmet orchid. Spurred helmet orchid - spurs just showing
A little fungus action - were a few - hard to photograph as they grab the light
A fine cluster of mushrooms growing on a tree stump
Maybe the grandest of the mushrooms - lines and colour tints
Had done the leech proofing - tuck pants into socks - only made it above boot line. 7 found on boots at home. Good to get out walking and not needing an umbrella
Dinner: Chicken cashew stir fry

Micro photography so beautiful my good wishes for you I am so 🤧 ill
I'm just a lil bit confused if those mushrooms are edible?
The pictures are truly beautiful, the purple flower looks the same to my orchid here.
Some of the mushrooms will be edible. I am not going to try until I walk with an expert.
As to the purple flower. An orchid has 3 sepals (they fold out from the outside) and 3 petals (the 3 on the inside). Often one of those petals is a bit more flash - to attract insects to land there. I call it the landing petal - the books say labellum. The next key is the sexual organs are combined into a single column - all other flowers have two parts that have to come together.
Step one - count the petals and sepals
step two - check for a column
Oh, just heard it from you. Thank you for this information. Such a wonderful scene to witness, attracting the insects using their uniqueness.
