Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

A few from Bedgebury Pinetum

Nice! I want to go to Bedgebury. 

 

There is a lot of it about!

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

Hey David! I hear someone has been pinching all your rare fungi.  I saw an article in the paper a few days ago and today Jeremy Vine was all over it.  Are you taking any steps to secure future fructifications?

Tiny ones, 40 ft up

A surfit of Sparassus crispa in a large garden within the Rennes ringroad and soon to be absorbed by development.

This park is rich in fungi and I'll miss my visits after the bulldozers have done their work...

Thanks for the article

 

Always going to be prized as a target that one.

 

The two fruiting sites where I work are relatively closely guarded secrets and not out in the open so should stay free from foraging. Especially as one of them is 10m up trunk on a cavity ?

I have never seen it in the flesh David.  Great looking fungi.  Maybe one day.....
