Fritillary Wood Clanfield, Hampshire
Sat 30 Apr 2005
Field event ID HF0502
Report: Fritillary wood near Clanfield is a new site for the group and is a privately owned woodland which was only recently acquired by the present owner. Our interest was raised by the report last autumn of Clavulina zollingeri which has a striking purple fruitbody and is not recorded on our database. The day itself started misty following a brief spell of rain in what is really a dry spring. Dispite these conditions the group managed to find over 50 species including an old spring favourite from Sims Wood, namely Clitocybe sinopica on some burnt patches in the grass. Worth noting was the appearance of Fibriciellum (Trechispora) silvae-ryae. It was almost unknown in this country until Alan found it at Blashford Lakes this year and subsequently at Gritnam during the BMS Spring Foray where it caused much interest. After the foray Stuart and Eric took a somewhat roudabout route to Butser Hill but the journey was rewarded by finding 30 or more fruitbodies of Verpa conica at their usual site under the Hawthorn bushes.
