Report: Another fine hot sunny summer's day for the four intrepid members - Sue and Eric Janke, Mark Hampton (who managed to come at the last minute) and leader Sara Cadbury. A fair number of Russulas managed to fill Eric's smart new collectin box for identification at home. I am sure if we had found more he could still have crammed them in! Probably the best find of the day was Amanita virosa which Sara found at the start of the day, as is often the case, growing in splendid isolation but in excellent condition.
