Hi MrG and a warm welcome to WAB. Have a look here for locations in / around you.

Reserves in Lincolnshire

Have a look at the site in full. The forays lead by my friend Ken Rowlands are well worth attending if you can.

Good luck - John

My response would be to go anywhere you like. Reserves are not the only places to see wildlife it is just that these are often the most recorded. everywhere you care to mention will hold Fungi. Try Footpahs through woods or country lanes You may be suprised at what you can find. The term for a person who only goes to reserves is known as a reservist. This may tickle your stick but you are better off exploring other sites too.

Good Luck.
Try the Norfolk Fungus study group & Cambridge study groups web sites they sometimes stray into Lincolnshire. Also go to the BMs web site & type in yourcounty to get a list of fungi recorded there.
