New Forest: Eyeworth Wood
Sun 8 Oct 2006
Field event ID HF0613
OS Grid areas: SU2214 SU2215
Weather: A dry fine day after a period of continuing rain.
Report: Several newcomers were welcomed to the group and with damp ground underfoot and a fine day the group had high hopes of a successful foray. We were not disappointed and found over a hundred species. Of particular note was Rhodatus palmatus which, with absence of elm it's usual host in the past, was found on beech on this occasion. There was also a fine specimen of Hericium erinaceum providing a photo opportunity over lunch. Some members of the group returned to this site later in the week with Lynne Boddy and Martha Crockett from Cardiff University who are investigating spore dispersal and germination of Hericium species. There were also several species of Pluteus found including P cervinus, P petasatus, P phlebophorus, P podospileus and the golden yellow P chrysophaeus.
