p.s. Glad you got to see the Swamp gums - they're magnificent (world's tallest flowering organism).

Oooo, very nice. I know that position of which you speak. I spend most of our orchid season with my head pressed sideways on the damp ground (they're tiny orchids).

Thanks Peter! It does look like a fairy ink cap and it was on a tree trunk as well so it must be it.
