I have just returned form a rain sodden walk on Yateley Common (adjacent to Blackbushe Airfield) and there were quite literally hundreds of Amanita muscaria; diversions down every path and rounding every corner revealed troops of 10's, 15's and 20's - never seen the like before. Amazing!

P.S. Wabbers first reported them north of the border on August 16, 2009 and south of England a week later

I must plan a trip to the New Forest in the coming days.
What you have described reminds me of a few years back in this small patch of woodland (about the size of a football pitch) in the New Forest there where literally 100's of Fly Agarics and even more Panthers... it was so hard to walk without stepping on them... it was an amazing sight. Anyway this was in 2005 and i have been back every year since and on several occasios each year and i have yet to see a repeat of this... infact i have only seen a handlfull of each.. last year for example... 1 panther and 3 fly agarics   |

Found a troop of around 20 this morning and more here and there, getting a bit fed up with 'em to be honest.  |

Fab, thanks for all your replies and pictures and kind welcome to the Fungi Forum! I'm an amateur mycologist trying to raise interest in fungi on Nature's Calendar (Woodland Trust) by getting as many people as possible to record fly agaric.
It would be great if anyone that wants to could let me know the (nearest) postcodes to where they saw fly agarics - or alternatively register with the Nature's Calendar survey and record them |

It's not so much when but how many have fruited this year - once off, after a slow start, it's been amazing.
