A forum for ALL people interested in fungi who foray in the London area. Professional or amateur, mad-keen microscope-wielder or once-a-year "can I eat it?" wanderer, everybody is welcome to share discoveries, ask questions, publicise forays and courses, or just make contact with like-minded enthusiasts.

"In his article [Dec. 1881] Phillips wrote 'The study of fungi is admitted on all hands to be one of considerable difficulty, especially when pursued by anyone alone and unaided'. Nothing has changed since. We won't get far in the recording of Britain's mycological biodiversity if we all try to go it alone." Alick Henrici, Notes and Records, Field Mycology vol.6(3) July 2005 p.101

The photo shows Pluteus ephebeus, one of the Shield mushrooms, on woodchip in the London Wildlife Trust's Camley Street Natural Park. It was found by Mick Hodges and photographed by Andy Overall at our August 'Fungi ID' drop-in session. We'll be doing more of them this autumn, open to everyone to come along and show your finds. Join this group to find out more.
