Fungus Foray Finds

A fungus foray with an expert at the National Trust's only arboretum. In a few yards we had found 12 species, over the course of three hours (6,000 steps) over 30 different varieties were pointed out, examined and explained.

We learned tons and only thing I will remember is that the terms toadstools and mushrooms are interchangeable with English being the only language with two words for fungi

Sorry you could not find an agaric but you certainly saw a number of wonderful varieties to show us here.

Some interesting looking fungi. Sounds like an interesting course to participate in.

[Mary Siegle]

So the terms toadstool and a mushroom are interchangeable? hmmm I did not know that! You certainly got photos of a great variety.

Thank you all!!
Our two hour walk with Sarah, the fungus expert, turned into three hours. I regret I won't remember many names of fungi, but I'm sure going to be much more observant

What a big range of fungi! In my lipreading class last week, one of the other students did a "de-voiced" talk on fungi. Hard to lipread the technical terms but oh so interesting.
