Report: Seven forayers returned for a visit to Ashford Hill. The day was mild and following some rain we were hopeful of finding fungi. We visited the woodland area of Ashford Holt in the morning and then, as in the past, returned to the pub for lunch before looking at the grassland in the afternoon. There were some beautiful specimens of Lactarius lilacinus showing why it was named as it is with its striking pink lilac colour. Brian found a specimen of Taphrinus alni which was the first time this species had been recorded on an HFRG foray. Although Brian has an interest in microfungi the fruitbody was easily visible if you looked for it. We recognised Ripartites metrodii this year although it has now changed name to R tricholoma if we follow Nordeloos as suggested in the new Checklist.
