Busketts Wood
Sat 11 Nov 2006
Field event ID HF0620
OS Grid areas: SU3110
Report: (Sara Cadbury) By the time members met at 10am at Busketts, the weather had changed from warm, sunny and calm to cold, wet and windy and remained so for the remainder of the day. The BMS overseas foray in Sardinia had claimed the presence of both Stuart and Alan resulting in a total of eleven members to tackle the huge number and variety of fungi appearing.
There was no sign of any fruiting bodies of Abortiporus biennis that had been so abundant by the car park at last year's foray at Busketts but further into the wood Hericium coralloides was in fine form, even if it was considerably higher than eye level. Due to the sheer amount and variety of fungi, progress was slow and the group did not manage to cross the open grass lawn or get to the woods and stream beyond but remained in the large mixed woodland directly to the south of the car park.
