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...
Thanks to Sylvia for sharing her unrivalled knowledge of the mycota of Highgate Wood again today, beginning and ending the walk with two new and healthy...
These have been present on the bark of an old ash log for some time. They look like Ustulina apart from the colour, which is green. What appear to be spores...
For anybody who wants to see the weirdness that is Clathrus archeri, Devil's Fingers, (or Stinky Dead Octopus fungus!) there are about 20 fruiting bodies in...
May I I have two guesses? 1. Ustulina deusta or similar resupinate with an overgrowth of algae. Actually Ustulina is not known for getting algal overgrowth...
Thanks Ted. I found something today which looks a lot more like Ustulina. I wouldn't have called the colour apple green; now we've had some rain I shall look...
The Ecology and Conservation Studies Society (ECSS - associated with Birkbeck College) is having a fungi ID day at Wildmoor Heath on Sunday 23 October. A...

Thanks Ted. The original green areas have now almost gone. There is a new growth of very small downy white spots sometimes on top of the remaining green,...
I have posted four photos. Two are in the series of fungi in recognizable London locations, as usual in Alexandra Park. Two are of a mystery agaric also from...
Unfortunately I can't log onto that site. You could ask her to send the picture to our group or directly to me or Keir. Deciding whether to eat a fungus or not...
Hello everyone, sorry I've not been in touch for a long time. I've just started looking at fungi again after a long break and found this interesting. There's...
Yesterday's rain and slightly lower temperatures brought a fresh flush to AllyPally today, including my first waxcap of the year in London - Hygrocybe ceracea,...
Hello everyone, My life, but there's a deal of stuff around now and plenty of people to have a look at it - 150+ at Waltham Forest's foray in Chingford...
Following Helen and Margaret Thomas being fairly sure they've seen an example of Podoscypha multizonata, Zoned Rosette, with a beech tree in Trent Park...
Dear Keir, Yes beech, oak and sweet chestnut are all in the family Fagaceae. Leaves alternate, stalked; male flower in slender catkins or spikes, female...
I understand that the South London Botanical Institute foray at Tandridge this coming Saturday has had to be cancelled due to the ill health of Lady Burnett. ...
Six new photos uploaded to londonfungi this evening - 4 of a mystery Macrolepiota which doesn't look quite right for either of the common two, M.procera or...
That Macrolepiota is difficult, not matching any images of Macrolepiota that I have found. Therefore I think it could be Leucoagaricus bresadolae instead. The...
Hello everyone, A reminder of three forays this weekend - one each north (led by Ted) and south (led by Mark, who should be able to regale everyone with his ...
A single visit record of 12 species of Hygrocybe makes the Trent Park site of National Importance for waxcap grassland fungi according to Rald. The somewhat...
Hi Keir, As mentioned in my e.mail to you, I have uploaded a pic of Hygrocybe calyptriformis found today 4th Nov- Ken Green Cem. I didn't upload the Clathrus...
I have just put up a picture of Crepidotus cinnabarinus which appeared on the end of a well rotted poplar log at the entrance to Alexandra Park on the edge of...
Fantastic find today on my Hampstead Heath foray, that of Volvariella surrecta growing in groups on decayed fruitbodies of Clitocybe nebularis (double...
Hi everyone, Thankyou to those who came to the forray. I was really pleased dwith how it went. I've put a photo of Mycane haematopus into the collection, just...
Well, I went to the junction of Umfreyville Road and Green Lanes last night (admittedly about 10 mins after 6.30pm) and nothing doing fungus-wise. I peered up...
Yes it was a really good foray. You and Jo did a great double act, lots of good species and very informative commentary thereon. Plus I now know where the...
That is a very good point we hadn't thought of. No doubt Andy and Keir were up at the hut ID'ing away. But a walk up a dark track in deepest Harringey is...
Work is proceeding apace at clearing the Bedford Road entrance to AllyPally. Without this work, we'd never have seen the Crepidotus cinnabarinus on the various...
