Alternatively, you could contact Dave Shorten at the Cotswold Fungus Group, and even consider joining them.

I notice you are based in Bristol, I climbed half way up the Avon Gorge when I was a kid and know there are some very rare plants there. I should imagine there could also be some rare fungi hidden in the nooks and cranny's, so you could think about the possibility of doing your bit for Bristol and discover a rare fungus - trouble is, these days access must be almost impossible for health and safety reasons.

Dave Shorten appears to be the official fungi recorder for gloucestershire - see page two of this document. (Which includes contact details): -
