New to Hampshire: Lepiota calcicola, Junghuhnia lacera
New to HFRG: Pluteus inquilinus, Pholiota flammans
Report: (Alan Lucas) Despite the weather forecast there was a good turnout of members and three of the shrooms group from the North of the county battled with the elements to join us. We set off from the car park and it was not long before specimens were being found and it was clear that another good total would be found this week, and off course we hope that with the more common fungi some unusual ones would turn up. It was not too long before the first goodie, Pholiota flammans found by John Parsons and new for the group and had our resident photographers lined up to take photos. Sara was busy putting specimens in her basket that were being found for the show and tell session over lunch that has become popular with the group. The next nice find came within a few minutes of John's find when Sally Tyler found Hebeloma radicosum. This fungus has a long root which, as legend has it, finds it was into mole latrines. There was some discussion about this and as we had no takers to dig down and find out if true or not the jury is still out. Other notable finds on the day were Amanita porphyria and Amanita ceciliae both found by Roger Newton, Lepiota grangei found by Eric and Junghuhnia lacera found by Sara Cadbury which although previously found by the group at Rowlands Castle is new to Hampshire.
