| | | Day out near Guildford
On Friday I had a day out near Guildford hoping to spot Morchella esculenta. Of course I did not succeed, but I have now spotted every type of ' Morel' apart from a Morel. Still, there were some interesting finds which included...
Laetiporus sulphureus ( Chicken of the Woods). Young and growing on yew 
A sea of Ramsons 
Mitrophora semilibra - one of eight around an ash tree 
Another Chicken of the Woods. Again young and on yew 
Verpa conica (I think) - one of 12 around a hazel tree. The first for me  
Calocybe Gambosum (St George's) - all over the place. I picked 193!  Slow Worm. Not a fungus, but it shows how hard I was looking!  |

Sounds like a cracking day out Pete, and good to see a 'day out' thread. I'm a bag fan of creating such items. Great with the pictures!!!

I can see a Hawthorn leaf at the base of the Verpa conica! |

Looks like the link between Verpa conica and Hawthorn is definitely there Leif mate  |

Nick | Hello Nick,
Yes, I enjoyed it! Hardly saw another person - all very relaxing. I think I am getting better at the photo taking too
PS - the 'hazel' for V conic is a mistake (I am a bit dyslexic). The sentence should read: "Verpa conica (I think) - one of 12 around a hawthorn tree. The first for me"

I do like bags but I definitely meant to write 'big fan'  |

By the looks of it Pete, you had the perfect day. They don't come much better.

lol, John wants to say "They don't come much better if you've not got the Morchella esculenta patch of the century". He's just a very modest chap

Morchella esculenta would have been the icing on the cake but I never though I had a chance of finding Verpa conica. They are very hard to see! | | |
