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...
Keir, I took a look at the Hygrocybe we were paining over and it was H. miniata, the slightly decurrent gills mislead us as it can do this. The spores are ...
Hi there everyone, There's something in Abney at the moment that I have no idea about. It is 10 cms across with a cream colour surface over a redder...
Last Sunday's foray in Ealing at the mystery venue was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances at the last minute. But it was only au revoir rather than...
We're getting a bit tight on storage space for photos on londonfungi. Yahoo! only gives us 30mb and there's only a couple of meg left. I'm going to tidy up...
Dear Gina, You have posted a beautiful and absolutely unmistakable picture of the rare, Red Data book listed BAP species Hydnellum ferrugineum. If I have time...
Hi Ted, thanks for your ID. I saw that and thought it couldn't be right as the book insists on the pine connection. If you want to have a look I'll check...
I have now posted a scan of the figure illustrating H.ferrugineum in Breitenback and Kranzlin Fungi of Switzerland volume 2. Like the specimen photographed by...
I have now deleted the full size versions of every picture I posted. In some cases despite clicking the "Delete full size only" button which appears above the...
Hi there. I've had a look at the photos that I want to delete but when I click on them to identify them in the thumbnail page they appear as small pictures on...
We may be running out of picture space on our site, but there are loads of free picture hosting sites on the web, which may be found by googling, eg. one...
Hi there, I went to see the growth this morning and it looks a bit sorry and shriveled from last nights frosting. The red droplets have mostly dried to a red...
Thanks to Cindy for passing on the hard information which confirmed the rumour - Zoned Rosette has fruited in Queen's Wood, Haringey, this year. I went over to...
I agree that a short article for Filed Mycology on the London Podoscyphas would be a good idea. I thought of looking at the coven circle but ran out of time on...

Hi there everyone, About that fungus that I found, I think I've mislead you all. I saw it and thought immediately of the picture on the back of the Swiss...
I got in touch with Martyn Ainsworth about the Scottish sighting of Piptoporus quercinus, as I'm off up there again next week, and he kindly replied not only...
I reckon Jo's idea about putting photos up offsite on flickr or one of the other photo-hosting websites and then pointing people at that URL is a great one....
The occurrence of Coprinus picea strongly suggests that Lesnes Abbey Wood is on chalk. Its calcicolous nature is why we don't see it in Harringey. Our nearest...
