Emer Bog
Sun 4 Dec 2005
Field event ID HF0524
OS Grid areas: SU3921
Report: Dispite a continuing cold spell and after some initial confusion about which entrance was the meeting point we assembled at Emer bog . I hope we contacted everyone who intended to come to the foray. The dry weather enabled us to walk through the bog without much difficulty although there were not mainy species to be found. After lunch Alan and Stuart approached an alder tree from opposite sides and simultaneously cried out 'slug' upon finding the glistening slug like fruitbodies of Camarops polysperma, one of the beechwood indicator species. Shortly after this Alan found a wonderful branch covered with the cobalt blue fringed Pulcherricium caeruleum.
