Hi, for anyone going to Lesnes on Sunday, complete addicts may care to follow up with another foray in the afternoon, at Shooters Hill at 3pm (NOT 2pm as...
Evening all, Given the success of the Monday evening post-GHFF ID sessions over the last few years, we're going to extend the concept over the next five...
Hi Jo, Â Wish you every success at Lesnes, but fear that another meeting starting at 3pm may allow very little useful daylight left at this time of year -...
Brilliant idea! I will come to as many of these sessions as I can, bringing a microscope (which I would be happy to donate to the centre if they want one), and...
I wonder has anyone amongst us examined the fungi of Sutcliffe Park, Kidbrooke? Â I went there yesterday (Saturday) primarily to see an alien aquatic...
I thought the *Oenanthe javanica* was to be destroyed. Is that not happening ? The fungi sound photogenic, I wonder if a local can post a pic or two ? M. ...
Sounds well worth a visit. I have seen sheets of Stropharia aurantiaca on wood chip mulch that were a very bright reddish orange bronzy colour, but not quite...
I found this on a large branch of a very old Turkey oak; the branch had been cut off some years ago. It's possibly perennial; one end is much darker, surface...
Hi all, Whilst seconding the aesthetic and identification merits of a photo of the Kidbrooke mushrooms, can I take the opportunity to re-plug the Camley St....
Sorry I did not make it tonight. Horrible day of meetings at work and just too exhausted. Next Monday I will be there. Excellent point about Leratiomyces ceres...
As I am reasonably local I could go to get a sample/photos but am very busy up to & including Sunday, so....I will go Monday to see if there are any left...
Excellent list with some less common varieties. Good to see that the Magpie was there again. I will enter them in the records for FRDB/CATE. Ted. _____ From:...
(Apologies for contacting you twice in quick succession) I thought I remind you of our debate on Thursday week: Earthwatch Debate: Irreplaceable - the World's...
Sorry folks - it's late on a Friday night. That previous message was obviously meant for only one of you, with his attendant fan club ... ... No virus found in...
Dear Mark, Belatedly: didn't Keir identify Russula parazurea - or were you unhappy that he did this on a slightly incomplete specimen? Hope you're better! ...
Hi all, Although today's BMS Autumn Taxonomy/Conservation meeting is usually the unofficial end of the foraying season, this year is a bit different. Sunday...
Don't forget that there are still plenty of microfungi about. One of the many superb talks at today's meeting was by Dave Minter of CABI in which he first gave...
Dear Mary, Yes, I'm feeling better now thanks. I can'y actually remember the R. parazurea at Lesnes; I'll forward this to Keir, perhaps he will have stronger...
Sorry folks, I'm taking on Keir's dopeyness & e-mailing you all by accident! Home: 72 Michael Cliffe House, Skinner Street, London, EC1R 0WX Telephone: [+44]...
Thank you so much for rewarding feedback to my recent obs. in Sutcliffe Park ("Taken as Red"). Thank you Keir, especially, for such an authoritative account,...
As ever you have opened my eyes to new possibilities. Until you mentioned it below I did not realise that Ellis and Ellis second book on "Microfungi on ...

A few people have been asking about where they can get partitioned plasic boxes of the type people have been using to carry and store fungi. The answer is...
Hi Ted, Â Many thanks for replying so soon and so appreciatively. I regret missing these ID sessions at Camley Street; they sound excellent and I could...
I'm not normally a great fan of sequels, but I confess this one of Brian's gave me a sense of relief, bordering on guilty pleasure. Earthtongues are indeed...
An extraordinary year for Geoglossum,even out here on Hampshire/Surrey borders.A piece of MOD land (SU847522) had some 650 earlier in the month and yesterday...
