FUNGUS FORAY

18/10/2019

0 Comments

 
​Last Sunday Archie led our mid-October fungus foray with the help of mycologist Ron. It poured with rain but that didn't dampen the spirits of the 10 or so people who braved the weather in search of the weird and wonderful members of the fungal kingdom! 

44 species were found and identified by Archie. 7 recognised as rare/extremely rare. Lots of Mycenae species. Please see photos (check out Mycena adscendens!) and full report in our Wildlife section. 

Thank you once again, Archie and Ron, and all the brave souls who parted grass, scraped trees and dug soil in the rain looking for their glimpse into the fungal kingdom! 

Here's a link to Archie's spreadsheet on types of fungus found in Park Wood >>

We had a fabulous evening with Andrew Milne guiding us round Park Wood in the twilight hours, spotting bats and 'hearing' them with the bat detector!  The bats were out in full force and we saw plenty 'Flittermice' in the woods.

Many thanks to Andrew for being a brilliant bat guide.
