Report: Neville guided what was one of the larger attendances this year around the open grassland and woods outside Denny enclosure. Stuart spotted some fine specimens of Lepiota procera on the horizon as he emerged from his car but predictably they had disappeared by the time the group returned at the end of the day! The grassland area contained several club fungi and many patches of geoglossum all of which turned out to be either G glutinosum and G fallax. Upon entering the woods Alan recognised a rather decomposing 5-6cm jelly like mass to be Tremella steidleri which was still sufficiently intact for the microscopic characters to confirm the identification. This was only the third time it has been recorded by the group. Sue Rogerson made a second notable find by finding Cantharellus cinereus, a red data list species which also has only three records on the HFRG database all of which were found by Sue. Near the end of the day the cabbage like fruitbody of Podoscypha multizonata was seen under an oak tree.
