Thanks to Jo for details of the foray on Chingford Plain in a fortnight. Apparently places are limited to 30 people this year after the experience of hordes of...
Hi Keir. The event in Nunhead Cemetery is advertised as an autumn Nature Walk, led by June Chatfield. It starts at the FoNC portakabin, which is near the...
The downpour we had today should have some effect. I spent this afternoon at Virginia Water west of London where they have had a lot rain in the past week and...
I thought this was interesting in lots of ways..... NB Saw June Chatfield today : her Nunhead event is on Sun Oct 15th & really is more of a general botanical...
There is a fungal foray on Thursday 19th October in Greenwich Park. It's advertised in the LWT Greenwich Group newsletter tho' organised by the Friends of...
I've posted some pics (Unknown agaricus) The cap pattern is quite different from any I've seen in the park. It was growing in open ground among shrubs,...
Hi folks I'm a new member. Can you tell me when/whether there's a grand fungal foray in Haringey this autumn. If so where and when? Thanks, Kat [Non-text...

Hi Hilary, If it bruises yellow, but with no reddening then it aint A.fuscofibrillosus, which is in the red-staining section Sanguinolenti. A small Agaricus...
Yes. It is on Sunday November 5th, starting from Railway Fields nature reserve at 10.30 am. This is the little former railway triangle at the corner of Green...
Dear Ted Thanks for letting me know - I live on Umfreville Road and came along last year. Sadly, no wheels. Will look forward to seeing you there. Cheers, K ...

Hi Keir, I have uploaded a pic of your Agrocybe rivulosa from Tower Hamlets. I didn't get round to taking the pics til Wednesday so excuse the wrinkly bits. ...
Thanks Keir. I think there may now be others of the same kind; they fit A semotus but have been very slow to open, and those that I have split all seem to be...
Is there still a waxcap survey going on? I found my first one yesterday, a Blackening waxcap on grass round a block of flats near me. It was (almost!) too...
Well then, why did you collect it if you knew what it was?!!! Wouldn't a photo do? ... This e-mail was sent using Homechoice Webmail [Non-text portions of this...

I didn't know what it was until I got it home; I thought it was a waxcap but didn't know which one. It was beginning to blacken by then so wouldn't have lasted...
That's a relief - I prefer to let them enjoy their brief moment of beauty in situ, only taking home samples if necessary for testing. If only a single sample...

Just a note for anyone who has not yet got a copy of this book: I recently bought one in new condition for the extraordinarily bargain price of £9.99 via...
Thanks Jo I hope I was quick enough! By the way all, I led a low profile foray in Ruskin Park today for the Camberwell Society. It seemed to go well, and I...
Dear Jo and Hilary, I am interested and intrigued. What is this "C and D"? Are they authors of a fungus book of some kind? Maybe it's something I'd be tempted...

Hi Brian R Courtecuisse and B Duhem, authors of the Collins Field Guide to Mushrooms & Toadstools, pub Harper Collins; it was out of print. Experts regard it...
Brian, "C & D" are Courtecuisse & Duhem, as mentioned in my email to the group 3 days ago, reproduced below. If you follow the link in the email, you will see...
Hi Jo, Hilary, et. al. Thanks for the tip, I also ordered "C&D" on your recommendation as well. Strangely, no matter how many of us order, the web-site still...
I found a group of creamy coloured spherical or cup shaped fungi growing on a patch of bare earth on a grassy bank in Ruskin Park. The spheres were 2-4 mm...
Hi Chris, Good email, but I suspect I might not be alone in not wanting to stick my head over the parapet too much on this one - especially on paper! It's all ...
Hello, Lots of waxcaps on lawn outside mansion at Trent Park Saturday 28 Oct. Haven't managed to identify them all... but sure (and very excited!) about...
I agree with Keir that Phillips and C&D (or Bon) are very good all-rounders, & that the new Phillips is disappointing but worth having. Beware Mushrooms of...
