I used to love the fungus forays in Dorset but I cant keep up nowadays so wouldn't wish to spoil it for others, but the cameraderie used to be really wonderful. Sounds like a good haul for the dry conditions, well done Colin. Nina.

Had a fungi open day in Surrey on the 12th, amazingly we ended up with 46 species!!!! I thought we would be lucky to get 10. In another thread we talked about children finding the fungi, that was exactly what happened on the day the childrens walk came back with 28 species.
Intresting that out of 46 only one was a Russula and only 2 were Milkcaps.

Three were respunites & a few were dead wood fungi. Still there were a few agaricals to see. Our records for Aldringham is 132 species which were recorded on one foray two years ago.
