OS Grid areas: SU3110
Weather: Rain was forecast but it held off until 11.30 and under the cover of the trees it did not affect us too much.
Report: (Sue Rogerson) Although this year has seen plenty of rain there have been few agaric fungi to be found and today was no exception just a few Russula and Amanita species were found and a single bolete -Boletus badius. After lunch Alan found Phellinus cavicola. This is a very rare fungus and was one of three beech indicator species found on the day the others were Ceriporiopsis pannocincta and Ganoderma pfeifferi . I managed to pass Hydnellum concrescens without noticing them but Eric was on hand to find them and a while later Jax found Phellodon confluens. These are both new sites for these Stipitate Hydnoid fungi in the New Forest which are BAP species.
