Weather: During the previous week there had been more frosts but once again the day was dry if a little chilly.
Report: For several years now it has been fruitful to record up to Christmas, perhaps helped by the milder weather of recent years and today was no exception. Alan showed us the winter hazel speciality Encoelia furfuracea with it's flower shaped fruitbodies. Later on Sue found a small fruitbody in the grass which Stuart recalled being shown by Thomas Lassoe in 1992. Camarophyllopsis atropuncta was a new record for Hampshire and a species that was on the Red Data Book list for 1992 but may be removed this year. A lot of time was spent looking and photographing a spindly clavariod fungus that eventually turned out to be Clavaria corniculata looking less compact than usual. As has been the custom in recent years we were invited to Eric and Sue Janke's for an 'American' lunch where the group showed it could cook as well as find fungi. The group gave Stuart a wooden fly agaric tiddlywink set to mark his retirement and 60th birthday for which he was very touched and grateful. Our thanks go to Eric and Sue for hosting lunch once again.
