Field event ID HF0716
OS Grid areas: SU4045 SU4044
Weather: Another warm day during a prolonged dry summer period.
Report: Harewood forest is a new site for the group which was recommended by one of our new members. We followed our noses and the map to find our way around and dispite the dry weather managed to find some signs of fungal activity! Despite the fact there did not appear to be many specimens the total for the day was a good average.We found three pluteus species including P thomsonii with it's veined cap surface and very spiky (rostrate) cystidia on the gill edge and the lovely yellow P chrysophaeus. Finally Eric and Alan decided they had found P. Hispidulus var cephalocystis after some research of a few books. Other notable finds included Amanita eliae which has been kept for Kew and Trechispora stevensonii.
