Still no success to report on the search for Piptoporus quercinus unfortunately, but there are other good things to report and look out for. These include a...
Hi Keir, After many hours hours peering down the barrel and writing of many notes, the trooping chap from Golders Hill park turns out to be Paneolus cinctulus ...
Many thanks to Andy (bet he sees tons of fungi in Finland) for nailing the Panaeolus cinctulus in Golders Hill Park. The photo in Jordan is a good likeness for...
Thanks to Jen for updating me with the latest events listing from the London Wildlife Trust. This includes extra fungus forays in Holland Park and Jenny Wood...
Thanks to Pat for this one. It's an Essex Field Club meeting so a phone call to make sure it's OK to attend would be in order - there should be no problems. ...
Some forays south of the river have been added to the foray file. Unfortunately, they are all a long way south - halfway to France almost. Ones closer to the...

Hi Keir, Just on my way there now! It's a few minutes walk from Tulse Hill train station - trains on Thameslink from Kings X etc, or more regular services from...
Does anyone know the name of the bright yellow mould which I have seen on boletes (prob chrysenteron) here and in Devon? I could then put it on my list of the...
Thanks to Joanna Cadisch for alerting me to a foray in Ealing (Horsenden Hill?) on November 13 - I'll put it in the foray file when I get more details. There...
