Nice One Kevin!

A quick note to thank Fenlander for his excellent “Fungi Foray” yesterday. I believe everyone who attended came away with something useful and for me it was enough confidence to now positively ID the few species I wish to collect for the table. Certainly we were lucky in finding some beautiful examples of the Penny Bun (king of the woods?) and the hard-to-miss Parasol Mushroom in both open and emerging stages and much more before the rain came.

Nice one Kevin!

Cheers

Just like to second that. Well organised morning. Thanks Fenlander!

....and we did ask a local for directions!

Thanks for the positive comments guys. It was really good to meet you both.

We cooked the Bay Boletes and Parasols when we got back to my site

Certainly not a local event as this was held at Cavenham Heath Nature Reserve http://www.english-nature.org.uk/special/nnr/nnr_details.asp?NNR_ID=36 on the south side of the River Lark, near Mildenhall, Suffolk!

I would love to say we spent the night under canvas but neither my wife nor my brother-in-law’s are those kinds of girls so it was late to bed after too much wine in a Newmarket hotel.

I’ll keep my eyes open for forays nearer home but from what I’ve read there seems to be plenty of such walks on offer throughout the South East. I think there was one at http://www.bedgeburypinetum.org.uk/events.htm only a few days ago.

Cheers
