My Nature Blog
The fungi here was different to Moggs Creek. We didn’t find much diversity along the nature trail itself, but started to find some when heading over to the main picnic ground to head to the loo. It may be worth doing the walk between the picnic grounds to see what I can find.
Moggs Creek is a fantastic location for fungi. The walk here is damper and not used as much as the one at Distillery Creek. I found a lot more diversity in fungi. I struggled to photograph it all as my legs were struggling with the walk. Lack of fitness aside, I believe that this walk and the surrounding areas should be visiting frequently in winter as it looks like it changes quickly.
I’ve tried to organize the photos according to the type of fungi but am not confident in my tentative categorization.
Yesterday, I explored some of the Aireys Inlet picnic grounds with Carolyn. The main goal was to find fungi and orchids, yet I had an ulterior motive: moss and lichen. These picnic grounds are a pain-in-the-butt to get to via public transport so I was pretty stoked.
I wasn’t disappointed. There was a lot of diversity in the fungi and moss species I observed. I haven’t even attempted to identify as it is also my first week of uni. Definitely looking forward to getting my P’s and exploring more of this region 🙂

We were 2/3 of the way home. We had stopped at Deans Marsh, our usual toilet stop, when we noticed more activity than usual. Turns out they were having sheep dog trials!
We were only there for 10 minutes or so, but was still fun to watch. Hoping to photograph more events in rural areas in the future.
