September 22nd, 2012. On our way
home from Rabun County, we explored the Swallow Creek Wildlife Management Area
in Towns County; a map of the WMA may be downloaded here. I’d never heard of
this WMA which has several access roads from GA-75. The first road we tried was
Cynth Creek Road. The road was in good condition until it reached the boundary
of the WMA after which, it deteriorated rather quickly. We look forward to
gravel roads which usually offer good wildflower hunting but we only traveled
a relatively short way up this road before we decided it was prudent to turn
around rather than press on.
We spotted some more Honey (Armillaria
mellia) mushrooms and a Chantarellus sp. but the real treat was sighting a
coral fungus at the edge of the road, one of the nicest we found this Fall.

Close up views from different
angles. I’d love to know which species this is.
