Field event ID HF0824
OS Grid areas: SU3821
Weather: Cold, with rain becoming heavy
Report: (Roger Newton) The foray began with Stuart’s car needing to be rescued from slowly sinking into the roadside verge. The omens did not look favourable and with increasing rain over the morning it was unanimously agreed to close the foray with an early lunch. However in the time available a good number and range of specimens were identified. Eric Janke found the uncommon Phaeomarasmius erinaceus on willow, Jacquey Newton found a multi-headed Cordyceps militaris and Simon Moore was able to collect several more specimens for the Hampshire Museum herbarium. There was also an opportunity to see the unnamed hypocrea found earlier this year which was now present on two logs. Despite the weather Chantra and Tony (guests for the day and first time forayers) were still smiling when we all trudged back to our cars through the deepening mud.
