11/05/21 Flora & Fungi survey: Yellingbo

Notes from: a Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater hosted citizen science event.
The fungi is prolific at the moment! Six volunteers headed out to explore an unmade track on a still, overcast morning to see if we could find flowering plants and fungi. We didn't manage to find too many flowering plants, but lots of fungi, lichens, mosses, liverworts.... Insects would have been a bonus, but just one to be seen, a Crane Fly. It was a pretty quiet day for birds, but it's always good to see and hear Gang-gang Cockatoos - 3 of them were filling the bush with their calls this morning, in the same spot we saw them a few weeks back, making great use of the tall Eucs of the Reserve beside the open paddocks of adjoining farmland.
What a great way to spend a few hours together :)
