Turns into a big day. First a trip into Bomadery to do some shopping. Shops are closed for ANZAC day tomorrow. First visit to Aldi in a while - turned into a big shop topping up essentials

alt

Got on the bike to ride to the middle section of Seven Mile Beach NP - silver top mushroom to start

alt

A bit of of strange from yesterday continues. All the acianthus orchid buds show the leaf above the ground. No flower showing but the plant has pollinated

alt

Native violet for my granddaughter Violette - the first of the day gets the photo

alt

Perfectly formed dandelion seed head - not often see these in the bush. This one came in with the garden refuse dumped here

alt

Lobellia

alt

Greenhood rosette - a few more spots this season - wavy edges to the leaf is a clue

alt

The leaf here is different - a different clue - flower spike and leaves up the spike. Budding bulochilis longifolia

alt

Budding acianthus orchid - leaf off the ground too

alt

Budding helmet orchids - not quite advanced to show the spots

alt

A different greenhood - no spikes yet - probably nutans

alt

Fungal form line

alt

A different silver toppy mushroom - maybe the same and a few days older

alt

Still day at Seven Mile Beach - looking far south to Point Perpendicular

alt

Looking north to Gerroa

alt

Ghost mushroom? Been knocked over

alt

On the way back - greenhood and acianthus orchid leaves in frame

alt

Those wavy edges again

alt

Smooth edges and a spike - bulochilis longifolia

alt

Mushroom just pushing out

alt

Long pedicals suggests nodding greenhood

alt

Rode down to where I walked yesterday - purple mushroom

alt

Side trip was to check chiloglottis orchids - a few found open - chiloglottis diphylla

alt

Side on shot

alt

A bit more top down

alt

Good to be able to get to the open road on the bike

Cottage pie for dinner
