New Records:
New for Hampshire: Hohenbuehelia fluxilis
Report: The group met at Deadwater reserve following up on our first visit to the site last year. We only had to take a few paces from the car park to find the first records of the day. There were several collections of Auriscalpium vulgare (Earpick Fungus) in perfect condition for photography and a fine display of Tapinella panuoides (Oyster Rollrim) on a conifer log. Passing into the alder carr the typical brackets of Inonotus radiata and Phellinus ignarius were found and on a mossy alder trunk was Hydropus floccipes with it's speckled stipe, a fungus that seems to be turning up more regularly on forays. We stopped for lunch on some logs where there was a fine display of fresh Ischnoderma benzoinum fruitbodies. It was a good day for our noses as we smelt coal tar from Tricholoma sulphureum (Sulphur Knight), coconut from Lactarius glyciosmus (Coconut Milkcap) and fenugreek from Phleogena faginea (Fenugreek stiltball). Alan found a Hohenbuehelia which he and Stuart took away and eventually agreed it matched Hohenbuehelia fluxilis as described in Flora Agaricina Neerlandica with it's widely spaced gills and 2-spored basidia. This was the first record for Hampshire and one of about a dozen in Britain. Another rarely reported fungus, Mycena corynephora, was found and checked by Eric. The checklist suggests this species may be overlooked due to it's small size and occurrence only during significant wet weather. This site has a range of habitats and consequently is producing a large and varied list of species.
