Hygrocybe miniata
Taken on my recent trip to Tassie, being autumn the fungi were out in force and I saw more different varieties than I’ve ever had the pleasure of observing before.

wonderful shot Travis, they almost look like someone cut tomatoes in half then placed them on a stork.
Marilyn Harris

Travis Easton replied

Fantastic composure Travis… What a wonderful find. Look forward to seeing more of your trip to Tassie…
Travis Easton replied
Most of the rest were low light hand held point and shoot jobs taken on the fly on my last day walking around Lake St Clair so the quality ain’t so great compared to this one, ta.

Yes – there are lots of these in Tassie – a delightful shot Travis!

Lovely colourful shot

Nice. Do you ever find luminescent ones? I am sure you’d have fun getting shots of them illuminating themselves!
Travis Easton replied
Saw some glowy blue ones but didn’t have time to stop and photograph them properly, due to the fact my torch died and I wanted to mimimise my torchless night time walking.

Interesting looking critters. They almost looks translucent.

Hi Trav – gorgeous capture of these lovely red caps. I have seen more varieties this year also of fungi – so unusual (I probably had my eyes open to them more now than ever before though)
Travis Easton replied
Me too photographed a whole heap on one of the old logging tram ways near Poweltown too weeks ago too. I love how each season delivers its own little treasures. Summer sunsets, autumn colour and mushrooms, winter snows and spring rains for waterfalls.

Hi Travis,
What a great photo beaut colour I have taken a few shots of these just south of Port Macquarie at Swans Crossing, I suppose you would have ran into a few leechs in your travel.
Cheers Rod.
Travis Easton replied
I am a veritable leech connoisseur, thanks for the comment.
