The Fung Hunters

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

got our young apprentice Tom, (oh his full name is Thomas Cook! lol) again!

 

He did a grand job on a reduction today, he is turning out to be a real gem of a lad, were trying to get a rise from him and kick start his arb tongue but so far he is a perfect gent and like a mouse! we will have that sorted before the year is out!

 

I took him on the hunt during our lunch break and we found Panelus serotinus on Alder which was a surprise as Ive only noted it on F. sylvatica previously:001_huh:

Poor lad, he's not got a chance with you as his Mentor

 

 

Gerrit has Alder listed first for serotinus. But like you, I've not noted that association.

That's because the tree species are listed in alphabetical order. It's most common on beech and birch on the continent too.
