Many of you will have heard the radio 4 'Breakfast' item about disappearing mycologists. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7752103.stm and adjacent links. Now...
Hello everyone, A reminder of Sunday's OPAL event in Kensington Gardens (11-3, fungi walks scheduled for noon and 2pm, plenty to see on the stand also...
Ah yes, good question Hilary, thanks. We've been doing about 5.30-ish to around 8.30-ish with people coming and going as they please within those flexible...
Thanks to Keir, Mark & Jan for advice! the oak crust was Peniphora cinerea; I'll post it in the 2nd Ruskin Park album, where the Aurantiporus fissilis is....
A happy new year, everyone; may it be gloriously remunerative in all things mouldy, rotting and deliquescent.  Hey but I've still got news from the old...
Rely on Brian for some stimulation even in the dark depths of winter. Taking his cue - and I would have done this earlier except I've been laid low for over a...
Great idea. Also collecting in plastic bags for incubation is bound to increase the catch. Not sure I can make it but will be keen to hear what you find. Will...
Hi Leso and welcome aboard, I can see 10 new photos from yourself in an album called 'Wick Woodland' - that's Hackney, am I right? If they are the ones in...
I have just looked at the pictures which have come out very well. The small white unknown is exciting, or any rate it excited me, because it reminded me of the...
I have just posted a picture of Entoloma jahnii in the folder set up by Leso for comparison. It is the picture from the latest MycoKey 3.1 that is included...
Sorry mate, I am havin trouble with my email at the moment, anyway, the small white was on a living tree, I am pretty sure, will go see if there is a sample to...
Actually that tree looks very dead. Its hard to tell at this time of year but the twigs in view have no buds, the bark is heavily fissured and the trunk seems...
That's easy for you to say! I was just scouting round Buglife's website when I found that Agathomiya wankowiczii (a real name to conjure with!), the Yellow ...
Along with our lovely celandine and crocus blossoms, whose heart amongst us is not equally evoked by the fungal harbingers of another spring? And when these...
Hi, I've just joined the group as I figured I may have somethings of interest to contribute while benefiting from the knowledge of other members regarding my ...
Dear Tim What a great new addition to our urban foraying community your sub-urban forays bring! I am going to take a stab at identifying your first picture. It...
Thanks Brian for an inspiring harbinger of spring. I will look out for Xylaria carpophyla- the beeechmast candle snuff, on my way to the station through...
It's nice to get some enthusiastic feedback on the subject. I suspected as much regarding the great variety of fungus making identification by a photograph...
Your second photograph is very useful as it gives a clear view of the under surface of the brackets. I think it also shows that the bluish tinge I claimed to...
On further looking into the forms that Dry Rot fungus can take I came across the statement in Roger Phillips that the fruit body is "usually resupinate but...
Just come across this thread - what a fascinating subject! And where to start in discussing it? Well, first things first, a big thank you and welcome to Tim on...
A little off topic (tho' prompted by Keir's comments) but there was an interesting article by Richard Mabey in Saturday's Grauniad about NN series :...
Ingrid - brilliant! Thanks very much for pointing us in this most stimulating direction. A whole host of thoughts occur to me, most of which are either...
Yes a fine, long and rambling article by Mabers. Like a good foray really. I doubt he has read Spooner and Roberts. I would love to dip into my copy (yes it is...
Wow! Thanks for the replies everyone. That's given me a lot to go on, and think about. Also thanks very much for the book recommendation, I'll try to get my...
All very fascinating, this sewer stuff. Especially as I have just received the invitation I've been excitedly looking forward to for months, the social...
