Kew is the centre of the mycological universe inhabited by the indigenous life forms from the planet iGnuf

 

Thought you would have known that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's the main Uk mycological herbarium.

Yes i know that.....but would have hispidus been specifically recorded in this case because of its rarity on oak for example.....or should i ring kew and tell them i saw it on a crab apple yesterday....oh i also saw ganoderma on a beech....shall i tell them that too.?

Lots & lots of people do.

 

Tony's forever on their case, so much so that Kew's Dr Ainsworth is almost perminantly out of the country on 'research' which I suspect is really to get away from the Hama
