Omahu Reserve Walk
A chilly, sunny and windy day.
The ground was wet and slippery in places due to the rain earlier in the week and fallen leaves.
The first interesting thing we found was small bonnet mushrooms growing at head height as an epiphyte in Fuchsia excorticata
Anaphalioides bellidioides which I have not seen on Banks Peninsula before
Cortinarius rotundisporus mushroom - Common name - Elegant blue webcap
A lichen- I think in the family Lobariaceae growing on the volcanic rock, lime green with white undersides
Today I used the tramping poles my husband bought for me they were helpful on the slippery ground and walking uphill. My physiotherapist also recommended that I use them as I broke my radius bone head in my arm earlier this year and it would be good exercise and stop my hand from swelling up on long walks.
