Bungendore - Around Town - Autumn - June 2020

Walking around town this week has been lovely, the weather is gorgeous and I've spotted some interesting mushrooms. A happy looking troupe of Shaggy Manes Coprinus comatus have blossomed under a sign in the centre of town. They've already started to autodigest itself into black goopiness and I didn't realise that they were edible as long as they were eaten immediately.

This morning, on my walk back from Spooks Hill, I spotted a big cluster of Spectacular Rustgills Gymnipilus junonius under an old Eucalypt tree.

I'm also proud of a submission I made to Council on Monday, to redesign a large car park development in town. I suggested that it would be much better for local businesses, the community and the environment to retain the gardens, buildings and green space for a 'Village Green and Gardens' concept, and reduce the car park footprint.

The submission received a very positive response from the community when I posted it on the Bungendore Community Noticeboard on Facebook. I hope the Council listens to the community and sees the potential in the space.
