~Fungi at Wittunga~
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
My friend and I visited Wittunga Botanic Gardens today. There are many plants in flower at the moment and there is also lots of different fungi’s. I have no idea what any of the fungi’s are but perhaps someone may be able to shed some light. It was pretty cloudy but the temperature was lovely. We had a great day taking endless photos of the flora and fauna.
Wittunga Botanic Garden:
In 1902, Edwin Ashby established Wittungas’s gardens based on a formal English design. The garden’s continual development reflected Edwin’s passion for Australian flora and included a collection of South African species.
When Edwin died in 1941 Wittunga was passed to his son, Keith Ashby. In 1965, Keith Ashby, with his family’s encouragement, donated Wittunga to the State, under the care of the Board of the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium. After Keith Ashby’s death in 1971, the Board assumed full responsibility for Wittunga.
The Garden was officially opened to the public in September 1975.

Hi Deb,
Excellent composition of this fungi! Fantastic sharpness and details and wonderful colours! Well done and TFS
Cheers Tina :-)
Hi Debbie, this is the first time I saw this kind of mushroom/fungi, really sharp color so we could easily observed it in detail. The brown color make this mushroom a bit unique and seems like it mimicking the deadwood surrounding it, really great notes for wittunga botanic garden, inspire me to get there someday, TFS
