Thanks for the early warning Keir. Maybe this year I' make the trek to Haringey! I've seen my first new Ruskin Park species for 2005 - F velutipes growing...
Many thanks to Mark for revising the proposed list of fungi considered to be species of conservation concern for Greater London, and submitting it to Mike...
Thank you Keir. Tell your story to English Heritage at Kenwood. They had a bed full of earthstars, hidden below low bushes, just outside the cottage, on the...
I am please to hear members are concerned about the removal of 'specimens' ie. 'earthstars'. We at Highgate Woods were particularly distressed with the removal...

Hi folks, Bear with me on this one, it might take a bit of telling, but I'll be as brief as I can while doing it justice. I was in Regent's Park last month and...
Thanks for your message Keir. I have found D concentrica on both dead and living ash trees in Ruskin Park SE5. There's been a good crop on a dead ash log this...
I've updated this year's list of forays in the FILES section. First spring ones are now less than a month away and after this dry winter I guess we could use...
I've updated the foray file again with dates at Gunnersbury and Hampstead Heath - still nothing south of the Thames though. Must get out and about this week as...
... So have I ! but from www.nhbs.com . They're offering it for £19.99 + p&p, compared with Amazon's £17.50 + p&p (free if your order is £20+). Altho' ...
Dear Ingrid, I have just ordered Spooner's new book from NHBS as you suggested. However NHBS could prove to be a costly (but excellent) source of information...
I have just posted a picture of Poplar field caps, Agrocybe cylindracea, which are present in large numbers on wood chip mulch near my house in N22. A....
Keir pointed out to me that I should consider Agrocybe praecox for the specimens in the photo posted earlier. On revisiting my identification there is no doubt...
I picked today 7 agarics, apparently A arvensis,10 - 13 cm in diameter, some still veiled; total cap weight 600 gm. They grew on a bank in Ruskin Park SE5,...
Dear Hilary and other early forayers, You will find plenty of St George's if you go on the Foray with Keir and Andy at the East Finchley Cemetery on Sunday, as...
The weather forecast for Sunday is excellent and, after today's recce, the fungi forecast is pretty good too. Plenty of St.George's around for the mycophages,...
I saw & photographed this at Kew today. Of course I didn't pick it, so almost all information is in the image. It was about 2.5 cm diameter, & I saw a few...
I know spring is a month earlier now but to see a late summer species in May is ridiculous. However I think it is Stropharia aurantiaca until proved otherwise....
Hilary, I just caught a look of the phota you took at Kew, it looks like Stropharia aurantiaca, (alien species) an early fruiting, but I have seen it early ...
Hi, I, too, found & queried this one found in Kew growing on woodchips, a year & a half ago. I contacted the Kew mycology people at the time & was told it was...
Thanks to all who replied; I've seen this once before on woodchips in a neighbour's garden but that was in November. Keir; do use the pic as you please; I'm...
I have just posted a picture by Ingrid Glass of the driveway morels which enables identification with some confidence. Also posted a picture of the Disciotis...

Thanks to Mark for putting fungi on the map in the local conservation bureaucracy. There is now an official list of priority species of conservation concern in...
The new New Naturalist really is all that. Magnificent. And somebody's flogging the paperback edition on eBay, currently selling at £5.50 !! Strange but true....
Hi Keir, You recieved your copy already? did you buy through NHBS? There is a general consesus among mycologists that the collection of fungi in itself is ...
