Hamadryads fungus diary

A wedge is one sample, the rest whole bodies.

 

i doubt they will reject the samples, be more interested than annoyed i suspect, theres a lot of goodies in this box!

 

You got Martyns e mail?

On another note, im doing a work party this morning, on the same site where i found that bracket that i thought was hapilopilus nidulans, not the one i got recently, but way back, shall see if there are any other fruit bodies for adding to the box!

 

as i now think it may have been something entirley different having now seen the nidulans propper.

Cost of posting them will be heavy I suspect.

Got two alders (vets) to do over a rail fence before they drop, and a chestnut (horse) to reduce that had a second stem removed and has an iffy union, right over the bungolow, theres some will coppacing to do too at some stage, with any luck i will find the radiatus there.
