Report: Alan Lucas, Sue Rogerson, Stuart Skeates, Eric Janke, Sara Cadbury and Mark Hampton gathered to foray at the National Trust property at Spearywell wood. With still fairly dry conditions prevailing it was necessary to look carefully for fungi. Despite this, the day turned into a reasonable foray and the notable find was the truffle Choiromyces meandriformis found by Sue. Mark Hampton also found the only record of Claviceps purpurea (Ergot) we have this year.
