Bungendore - Spooks Hill - Autumn - May 9
We've had a good amount of steady rain throughout the week and Saturday morning was sunny and fresh with a deep blue, cloudless sky. The pine forest was full of mushrooms. There were many more large groups of Saffron Milkcap Lactarius deliciosus scattered through the forest. On the northwestern side of the pine forest, large numbers of what looks like immature bracken Pteridium aquilinum have popped up. I also noticed a group of Fly Agaric Amanita muscaria further in the forest. There were large numbers of the small, white and funnel-shaped mushrooms scattered throughout the forest. I haven't been able to confidently identify them but they might be Fragrant Funnels Clitocybe fragrans. I need to smell them next time to see if I can scent aniseed and then I'll be more certain.

I haven't checked if these mushrooms have an aniseed smell.

The specimen doesn't have the usual white spots however, several other younger mushrooms with the usual white spots were emerging in the same location.
