The Fung Hunters

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I was speaking about the new site I visited at the weekend with the guy who found that wahlbergii yesterday, as a result he's gone over there today to see what perenial brackets might be lurking in/on those pollards. Don't think he will be climbing into the hollow pollard tops, perhaps we could do an AT survey in the late summer.

 

Any one up for it ?

are you taking the peeeesh!

It was intended as a wider invite

 

Certain people would be 'expected' obviously.

More than welcome Rob,

 

keep tabs on this thread and I'll try to remember to instigate a date and fit in a site visit.

 

Will probably make contact with the local volunteers as well, just to let them know we might be clambering on their precious veterans.

 

Also might try and get the local BMS chap involved, think he would be pretty interested too.

 

 

Like Tony suggested on an earlier thread, perhaps late july/august to catch the best opportunity for Oak polypore, Laeti, Fistulina & any Phellinus that may be lurking inside the pollards.

 

 

Stay tuned

Cool. Sounds like fun

 

Would love to get some new not so common species. Including a few better ones of what I've already got!

Just some pics that fit the thread...Jonathan Cowan on a walk in the rainforest in Feb 2012, I do have camera envy but since I have broken three cameras I resist both the purchase and even touching someone elses equipment (NO don't even think about going there!!!!).

 

We were photographing Ramaria sp, the pic of the fruiting body is one of mine Jon's was far better.
