On Pony Dung in the New Forest. There's not much around at the moment so I thought I'd try and find some Poronia

Thanks Dave.



The Hampshire and IOW Wildlife Trust have published "A Monitoring Survey for the Nail Fungus, Poronia punctata,

in the New Forest". I found it a very useful aid to locating it.

Very nice photo's. I found it for the first time last autumn in Anglesy. I did not realise it was a Pyrenomycete until I cut one in half and saw the perithecia, I has asumed that it was a Discomycete.

Thanks all.



I've just seen Ditiola's images of this including the one that was cut in half to show the perithecia.
