Fungi make interesting and often beautiful subjects, Here are two really tiny species from woodland near our house: Orange Mycena and Pink Fringed Faery Cup

"N. niveo-tomentosa
Peridia are 4–6 mm tall with rims that have a fringe of white hairs. Peridioles are mahogany-brown and 0.5–1 mm wide. Spores have an elliptical or roughly spherical shape, and are 6–9 by 5–6 µm. "

I guess these are some of the earthstar types?
I cannot provide more details, I know very little about Fungi, like photographing them though.

No information on what type this one is but it was quite large about 200mm diameter, not macro of course.

You’ve got to like the earth stars, not sure what species you get in Tasmania although they look very similar to ours in Britain. They are not easy to find.
Nicely photographed.

Hi Soundbyte a very interesting fungi

 

[soundbyte]

Thank you everyone for your comments.

All the fungi I have seen are quite common here, even the birds nest ones!

I am keen to see some luminescent mushrooms, I know the location, have not had a chance to visit there this year, I may be too late.

 

[Letolen]

Fungi my favourite flower. This is not a great image. I was just happy to see one & I make sure I improve my skills next time, no tripod, taken in 2017 Australia. Luninescent species

Great image, Letolen. I've yet to see a luminescent species, but that could be due to the fact that I don't generally look for fungi after the sun has gone down!
Thanks for sharing your photo!
cheers,
Alex

 

[Letolen]

AlexY I am the same only look during the day.
Yet after seeing one it makes you want to look for them.
My image was lazy viewing it was living on my veranda
