22/05/24 Flora & Fungi survey: Yellingbo

Notes from: a Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater hosted citizen science event.
The forecast was for a cool start, and we got it, however our group of volunteers were treated to clear blue skies in a beautiful patch of Lowland Forest in Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area.
The smiles, laughter and moments of concentration over our IDing task kept us all warm as we recorded everything from majestic eucalypts to vibrant and glistening fungi.
In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, it is rejuvenating to spend time with like-minded people, doing something that you know is valuable, and valued. Each month, we are coming back to this patch to document the flora and fungi species seen over a 12-month period. You can't care about it, if you don't know it's there.
