Hi everyone, I echo Hilary's new year wishes, enjoyed her remarkably purple Trametes picture (tried hard to turn it into Chondrostereum, eventually deciding...
Hi folks, Thirded on the HNY and agree with Hilary that it's a pretty picture and agree with Brian that it's Chondrostereum. Excellent news that Brian can now ...
Thanks Keir. I agree, having looked it up on the web, that this is Chondrostereum. The illustrations in Phillips etc seem mostly to be of older specimens; I...
Dear All, Happy New Year, Some of you may remember that I was asked by the GLA to compile a list of rare fungi species in the Greater London area for their...
Dear All, Last week (Wednesday 10th January) I was visiting Walthamstow Resrvoir and came across fairly large quanties of an Arrhenia species (I'm not sure...
Dear Mark, Happy New Year. I have pics of L. ursinus and R. rubinus both from within Greater London. In fact the latter was my first collection of this...
Dear Andy, Ha! You have fallen into my trap! What I really need is from the likes of you is for you to write a brief entry for each of the listed species...
I've put a couple of photos in the folder 'Gilled fungi' which I think are of Amanita inopinata. I've never seen this species in the flesh, and the specimen...
Beautiful ! http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/potd/2007/01/ganoderma_lucidum.php I noticed in new Philips that G. lucidum has been upgraded (!) to Lacquered...
The two titans of botany have certainly turned up something both esoteric and interesting here, as ever. I know nothing of this genus. But a quick scoot round...
Isn't it just?!!? But Roger Phillips is (inadvertantly) guilty of throwing everyone for a loop over this set of three Ganoderma species (G.pfeifferi, ...
Hi Mark, Not wanting to fall into too many elephant traps, I reckon photos of Microglossum and the hedgehogs might be tricky, but that Podoscypha should be...
Great feedback. My warmest thanks to Mark for his splendid picture of Arrhenia taken at Walthamstow Reservoirs (also near home and well explored) and again to...
I would reckon that some sort of group membership of the ABFG may well be of benefit. As membership of this egroup is very much an informal thing and open to...
Thanks for that helpful suggestion Keir. Indeed a yahoo group could hardly affiliate to anything outside the cybersphere. The ABFG exists to encourage local...

My message below was sent several days ago but never appeared, lost I assume in the Yahoo Groups server backlog. I am sending it again, with apologies if...
In response to the query about courses and help with using a microscope for ID-ing fungi, the Field Studies Council runs various fungus weekend and week-long...
Dear Andy,Many thanks to agreeing to do a couple of these & responding so helpfully to my trap! I have attached the documents for Lentinellus & Rubinoboletus....
A couple of thoughts, based entirely on personal feeling and a complete absence of any knowledge of ABFG: 1. I feel that I have got to the stage where I would...
Hi Mark, Thats Ok, but there are no attachments to your message ?, No worries, I do it all the time. I'll await the attachments All the best Andy ... From:...
Mark, It may well be worth also including Tricholoma populinum on your list as this a vulnerable red data species inc. on the pre red data list and I know of...
I've heard from Peter Roberts at Kew; the green disc (see pic) is Lenzites betulina in an unusual form. There are other more normal specimens on the log....
Ah-ha! Mystery solved then. And what a rascal it was. Hilary, did Peter say whether or not the green colouration on this example of 'the murderous bracket'...
