Busketts Wood

Field event ID HF0508
OS Grid areas: SU3111
Report: On a sunny day Sue and Eric Janke and Mark Hampton joined Sara Cadbury at Busketts to keep the flag flying for the HFRG whilst the &ldquot;Great and Good&rdquot; were in Scotland at the BMS Autumn Foray. Before we even started Mark found about a dozen fruiting bodies, of various sizes and development under an oak tree of what turned out to be Abortiporus biennis although imitating an Hydnellum at first sight. During the foray itself other fungal fruiting bodies were rather hard to find, so much walking and not much finding, although eventually several Russulas were found much to Eric's pleasure.
