Author's notes

In the same patch as the black toadstools. Seeing a good number of different toadstools all more or less in this same area around bonfire/chicken hutch/veg. Just two of these.

Will go up and see if they have weathered the storm (last night).

OK I've taken an old one down and added a new couple ... I seemed unable to save without removing a photograph. Actually, I'm having a few difficulties with power going off and internet going off so I will do this quickly and save. Here is the one remaining toadstool with refection and height measurement.

Sounds like you've had a rough time of it down there. Even though a bit tattered this is what it appears to have matured to.

If you compare with this species that you uploaded earlier you will see the similarity particularly in the cap shape. Though note the difference in colour part of the reason for the 'group' after the name, as there seems to be a great deal of variartion in specimens and the taxonomy for Australian species is still up in the air a bit!!

We are totally 'off-grid' so when things go wrong we take longer to get back on ... in fact we lost our radio phone connection for a week not long ago, after a lightning strike ...

Phew, that's tough. You need a politician living nearby so they can experience your dramas and maybe do something to improve things!

Well Mr Shorten and Mr Abbott are regulars to the area but not 'deep in the woods' like we are!!
