OS Grid areas: SU3110
Weather: Light rain at first then much brighter
New Records:
New to Hampshire: Lyophyllum konradianum
New to HFRG: Cryptocoryneum rilstonii
Report: (Roger Newton) It was a pleasant and quiet foray which finished at lunch time. However a steady stream of finds were recorded including the shocking pink and rare Aleurodiscus wakefieldiae found by Alan with only 29 previous British records since it was first found in South Devon in 1935 by E.M.Wakefield.
Notes SJS: Lyophyllum konradianum is one of the blackening group of Lyophyllum and very rarely recorded. Of the few records on the FRDBI and CATE I noticed that there is a record from Oxfordshire found by Richard Fortey in 2006. Cryptocoryneum rilstonii, named after Francis Rilstone who first found it in Cornwall in 1950, is most commonly found in the leaf litter with Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) and this record is the first association with Oak. Most other records come from Paul Kirk (the database guru of the FRDBI) who clearly has an eye for it.
