East Sussex meet up.

Either that, Dave, or we'll all come around and do your decorating instead ..

pressld2 · #77 (**permalink**) 28-10-2009, 09:24 AM

LOL! Now there's an offer!

I shall spend all week working like a trooper and drooling at the thought of Mike's bacon sarnies!

Dave P.

cutecoot · #78 (**permalink**) 28-10-2009, 09:35 AM

Hope you're going to leave some for me (bacon sarnies that is), I probably won't get there until 10 unless I get up at the crack of dawn! (Oh, which is probably too late at this time of year!

) Probably won't take me as long to get there as googlemaps say though ..

Unfortunately I'll be working that weekend but hope it goes well

cutecoot · #80 (**permalink**) 28-10-2009, 09:39 AM

Sorry you can't make it, Tuftie, but hopefully see you some other time

Dutchess · #81 (**permalink**) 28-10-2009, 11:08 AM

Sorry you can't make it Tufftie. Another time maybe...

Looking forward to this! I know next to nowt about fungi (except that some taste good and some are poisonous!) so this will be my initiation

(Multimap.com, cutecoot! Pretty sure it can't take that long from creepy Crawley?)

cutecoot · #82 (**permalink**) 28-10-2009, 03:13 PM

Says an hour and 25 mins on googlemaps, D, but I can probably make it a bit quicker than that, not that I drive fast, of course

OK, This might interest some of you. I have just asked, and Patrick tells me that the birch polypore like fungi, that was found on the fungi walk, was called Tyromyces chioneus.

As of now, I can be there on the 7th. Hopefully nothing will crop up.

I'm new to this thread and blog but keen to do the meet on Saturday, public transport allowing. Thanks for responses from all.

chanty · #86 (**permalink**) 04-11-2009, 10:24 AM

Brede Wood too far to go, take me 4hrs to get there. Anywhere closer to Brighton or Eastbourne?

pressld2 · #87 (**permalink**) 06-11-2009, 03:54 PM

Decorating all done - see you tomorrow!

Dave P.

Mike Jackson · #88 (**permalink**) 06-11-2009, 05:05 PM

I'll be there just after 9 again and the kettle will be on.

peterdunsby · #89 (**permalink**) 06-11-2009, 08:15 PM

Sorry - looking at map Brede Wood is too far for me too. Brighton way is much closer to home. Another time hopefully.

Mike Jackson · #90 (**permalink**) 07-11-2009, 04:13 PM

There were 4 of us today and we had a wonderful time. There were fungi everywhere and we think we found Lactarius quieticolor, a Red Data List species.

We definitely saw false Death Cap, Brown Birch Bollete, Orange Oak Bollete, Slippery Jack, Larch Bollete, Orange Peel, The Blusher, Panther Cap, Fly Agaric, pholotia squarrosa, False Chanterelle, Primose Brittlegill, Honey Fungus, Sulphur Tuft, Bay Boletus, various other lactarius and rakes of small bonnets and mycena.

A very enjoyable day with good company.

Mike

Not long got back, had a great time meeting you all and seeing some great fungi

Great to be out with people who know their stuff, me being a bit of a novice!

Look forward to seeing everyone's pix, I'll be offline until monday, so will try and post some of mine then (if there's any good enough!)

Thanks for organising this, Mike, I wasn't too sure about the long drive down but was definitely worth it

pressld2 · #92 (**permalink**) 07-11-2009, 04:57 PM

I made it home just after 5 - didn't hit any of the traffic I was expecting!

As a group we were small but perfectly formed!

Just like to echo Jan's thanks to Mike for his hospitality - great bacon butties and hot drinks!

I'll try and get some images posted up later tonight.

Dave P.

Mike Jackson · #93 (**permalink**) 07-11-2009, 06:21 PM

I think the jelly type Dave found on the stump may be Ascocoryne cylichnium. Posted in the fungi forum for possible shooting down in flames or confirmation.

pressld2 · #94 (**permalink**) 07-11-2009, 09:01 PM

Certainly looks good Mike, but my Collins says that microscopic spore examination is needed to seperate it from A. sarcoides with certainty.

Here's my first few photos - a bunch of Amanitas...

The Blusher

Panthercap

False deathcap

Dave P.

Looking · #95 (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 10:35 AM

May I put forward the possibility that the Panther cap could be a grey spotted amanita. I have just been looking at my shot of it and comparing it with Rogers mushrooms.
Dave

Mike Jackson · #96 (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 10:41 AM

That's been confirmed in the fungi forum and the interesting one on the stump has been IDed as Tremella foliacea. I've been back over and retrieved the cut lactarius. Sue found a Hedgehog fungus alongside the path below the orchard this morning.

pressld2 · #97 (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 10:45 AM

Yep, I've renamed the images and was just coming over here to give an update but I see you've beaten me to it!

Ken Burgess has kindly explained how to tell them apart in this thread: Second opinion please - panthercap or grey spotted amanita

Dave P.

Looking · #98 (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 01:26 PM

The lichen that was on the tree could have been Candelariella reflexa.
Dave

Looking · #99 (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 02:18 PM

This is the yellow one I had seen. The one that I went off to photograph after the meeting. Still no ID for it. I looked right the way through Rogers searching for it.

This one is a little bracket. Still unidentified. Can not find it.

I think we all took pics of these. Still unidentified.

Another milk cap I thing this is a rare one too. Is it Lactarius salmonicolor?

This maybe plums and custard?

The Orange peel I think we all had a shot of.

Unidentified Bracket under the trees near Holman Field.

And last my shot of the Leafy Brain - Tremella foliacea

Hi Dave,

For your first one try the Alder Scalycap - Pholiota alnicola. I still think the third one is Shaggy Scalycap - Philiota squarrosa but I'm not as confident as I was yesterday.

If you haven't already done so it might be a good idea to start an ID thread in the fungi forum.
