No. 1 Schizophyllum commune or Splitgill
No. 2 This is probably Hexagonia vesparia, a hoof-shaped polypore.
No. 3 An interesting jelly that I think is possibly Dacryopinax spathularia. It seems to differ from Calocera species because of the tongue-like shape of the branches. Dacryopinax spathularia is a delicacy in China, apparently.
No. 4 This is Tremella mesenterica again but this one was quite large, about 5.5cm wide.
No. 5 Omphalina umbellifera
No. 6 Ompahlina chromacea
No. 7 A nice little display of the Bird's Nest fungus, Crucibulem laeve, showing various stages of development.
No. 8 a puffball, Lycoperdon species.

Hi JL
Great fungi down there, these days. Must have rained some more.
Lovely images of many different types. Your first yellow Jelly is one I have not seen.
Your "Polypore" Hexagonia vesparia is named for its resemblance to a wasp's nest. Seems appropriate. Much like a Paper Wasp nest.
Cheers
Denis
Hello Denis,
The first almost normal autumn/winter here for a number of years. It's raining again as I type! Cropping farmers are hoping for a decent harvest for a change.
The little orange "tongues" are fascinating. They dry up very quickly though. We are expecting more rain over the weekend and if there's a decent dump, I will wander up to check their progress - or lack thereof. Quite an interesting species.
