Shaz-Bat!!!

Can not make that, I hope that soon I can make a date and meet so many of you all. Op on the 3rd so do not think I will be fit enough.
As a complete novice to Fungi and the like, I am mesmerised by the variety, colours, textures and weired shapes that you have shown in the galleries.
Thanks to you all for showing such wonders.
Am truly amazed.

Never mind Martin, I'm sure there will be other days at Clumber

Good luck with the Op.

Even if not at Clumber I am hopeful that I can meet with some of you all soon.
It is a shame, but as you say John an other day.
Hope you all have a darn good day

Good luck, and thanks John.

As one who has just been there, done that and got the T-shirt I hope all goes well & wish you a speedy recovery Martin.

Well FJ if the weather gets worse or the fungi inexplicably disappear from Clumber you could do worse than adjourn to the local hostelry and put on a slide show of your recent finds so brilliantly displayed in the Gallery.

Thanks David.
You are in the same boat as me, hope all has gone well for you David, you I hope, have had your op and now are on the road to a speedy recovery.
Will meet up with you all soon.
Thanks.
Martin

It is producing some good species at the moment

I live quite local to Clumber, if I am around the ara that weekend would I be ok to pop along? It'd be interesting to learn more about fungi from folks in the know.

Hi all

If anyone still requires a map / route can they pm me their email address ... I think I may have missed one or two!

I'll go over the two routes this weekend to see what's growing and hopefully upload a few more examples of what to expect ... If there's no uploads, just assume there's too many species

11, 10, 9 days ...

Hi John,
i was in clumber on wednesday and found around 16 species in an area of 100yds x 20 yds , including three different boletes growin within inches of each other !
there is a big flush of parasol`s in the paddock areas across the lake from the chapel,
so the signs are good for the foray, hope it keeps dry!!

Brian.

NickCantle · #**118** (**permalink**) 25-09-2008, 09:19 PM

Hi Nick,

youre right, Clumber is always good , i was at Budby (about 5 min from Clumber and a very similar habitat) today , and apart from the usual russula ochroleuca in fair numbers ,one or two amanita muscari and a few lactarius quietus under the oaks there was not much else about,

Brian.

Yes, it's looking very good at the moment Brian. Even the walk from Trumans Lodge to the crossroads provides over 50 species ... and that is only from one side!

Hopefully not too dry during next week
