Best sites to visit, an hour from London

[doke]

I usually confine my interests to birdwatching and butterflies, but decided this weekend might be good to go out and find some fungi. I live in South West London, close to the A3, and wondered what sites might be a good place to start within an hour's drive? Would the recent spell of hot weather have any impact on the likelihood of finding some interesting species?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Burnham Beeches in south Buckinghamshire is a good bet.

You could get to the New Forest in an hour. The recent dry/hot weather has had an impact though. There was a very early flush this year and there's not as much around now.
