Lindsay Fisher writes: We don’t often go fungus-foraging at this time of year, but several Witney Woodland Volunteers noticed some flourishing clumps of fungi while working at Deer Park Wood this week, perhaps surprising after all this cold weather. Here are a few snaps. Identifications would be appreciated.
Pop-up Fungus Foray at Foxholes, 30 October 2022
At this time of year, fungi pop up like, well, mushrooms – and so do Field Club walks! Our second pop-up walk of the winter season was at Foxholes, a BBOWT reserve near Bruern, which is always worth a visit at this time of year for fungi.
Sunday 16 October was a glorious day when ten of us met with Peter Creed for a morning’s fungus foray. Peter led us through a variety of habitats, each very different and thus providing a variety of fungi.
