28th May – Cunningham’s Gap

Mar 192016

Mt Cordeaux and Mt Mitchell straddle Cunningham’s Gap and are part of the Gondwana Rainforests of the Australian World Heritage Area. The site is rich with fungal species and there is always something of interest to be found.

We start our forays in the car park, go past the cairn commemorating the explorer Alan Cunningham and some fine Hoop Pines Araucaria cunninghamii and continue along the Mt Cordeaux’s summit track for about a kilometre. If there is time, the foray may also explore some of Mt Mitchell.

Dominated by sandy soils typical of the Great Sandy National Park, the plants and their fungal mycorrhizal partners of Cooloola have had to adapt to these low nutrient soils. The resulting diversity of Boletes, in particular, makes this a global hot spot for fungal diversity.
