Have a few new photos from a day out with John in the Coaldale area along Stockyard Creek north east of Grafton. The heat of late has made it a little awkward in getting out for a full days bush walking.
The first two photos are of green fruits of Cuttsia viburnea.
The next three photos are of Denhamia celastroides the trunk and again the green fruits.
Ferns are always a favourite of mine and to find Dictymia brownii, growing in large clumps, with forked fronds was a treat.
There were a number of different Cyperus including Cyperus tetraphyllus growing along the ephermeral creek.

This section as are the next two sections are still from our walk along Stockyard Creek Coaldale NSW. Start with replacing the photo of the trunk on Gmelina leichardtiana, with, what I consider is a better likeness of the trunk and start of the flanging at the base that old trees will exhibit.
There are two additional photos of Hypericum gramineum, one of the flower and one of the fruit.
The long shot, photo shows a good environment of the gullies where Livistona australis thrive.
I have added two photos of Olea paniculata depicting the variation in the foliage.
The lower four photos are of Pellaea paradoxa an exceptionally beautiful fern when grown in full shade to very deep shade on moist retentive soils.

Finally found Pittosporum undulatum in fruit be it green and with a flush of new growth.
While we were out at Wombat Creek Conservation Area a few months ago we came across a beautiful large patch of Ptilothrix deusta at the top of the range.
A day’s walk in Fortis Creek National Park uncovered Schizomeria ovata in late flower with green fruits.

Deep into the shaded valley at Stockyard Creek where filtered light reached the floor Senecio tenuiflorus and Sorghum leiocladum were uncovered.
Fortis Creek walk uncovered Vernonia cinerea in flower, while a day out in Ramornie National Park we found Veronica plebeia with many ripe fruits.

The final three plants identified from Stockyard Creek photographed are Lasiopetalum sp. coochin hills, Parsonsia velutina and Sticherus flabellatus. According to Paul Sheringham, senior botanist with National Parks, believes the Lasiopetalum sp. we saw is a new species most likely from a Queensland species presently listed as Lasiopetalum species coochin hills. The original sample was photographed and forwarded to National parks by John Edwards.

Thanks to a reader Tom, who informed me of an error I made in describing Amanita muscaria. I corrected the error in the section on Higher order Fungi and added 6 photos of fungi.
Top Amanita farinacea and second is the white spore pattern of Amanita farinacea.
