Today’s plan is to drive to Whakapapa again, walk to Taranaki Falls — 6 Km loop, then Ridge Track — 1.4 Km return. Still thinking of yesterday’s wonderful Silica Rapids walk. Here are two different blue fungi from that track.

Tiny blue fungi on a tree trunk on Silica Rapids walk.
Almost spherical blue fungi on the ground on Silica Rapids walk.
