National fungi expert, Martin Allison, led our final fungi foray into Broadwater Warren for this season.
17 people came along to see what could be found. In 2 hours we had found an amazing, wide variety of fungi, with equally fantastic names....
...and several more.
Martin fascinated the wonderful, friendly group with his knowledge and experience. Each speciment was pulled, sniffed, turned, scraped, and inspected under a hand lense. A few, (but not all!) were tasted. The Primrose Brittle Gill was particularly hot to taste. Soon the entire group was spreading out and spotting interesting fungi fruits all over the woodland floor and high up on the trees.
Thank you to everyone who came along, and for the good humour and friendliness throughout.

Thanks a lot to You and Martin, too! ;) I think I found the same one growing straight from leaf of Pteridium aquilinum, but not at Broadwater-in Pembury Wood..there is one great tiny place for Mitrula paludosa, Cudoniella tenuispora, Scuttelinia, Gomphidius roseus, Cortinarius violaceus... :)
maybe I upload here the pic of my Mycena..
