Tony Hardware's Fungi Finds

After retiring in 2013 and already absorbed in birdwatching around the world, I began to seek out new records and biodiversity in many new forms. In 2015, I started to look towards the world of fungi. This is my story of my key finds, but starting in August 2017. First few years were finds in Bucks and Northants. Moving to Cornwall in May 2018 changed my focus. From October 2020 I only focused on rare or uncommon species. I moved to Stroud, Gloucs. in March 2021 and the Cotswolds awaits.

Bucknell Wood, Northants 4th October 2017

I visited this site just north of Brackley, again a mixed woodland with deciduous and conifer trees together. Footpaths are few and far between but that doesn't matter to a fungifinder, with strange broad rimmed hat, muddy knees jeans and a camera! An interesting species of Cortinarius was evident which is shown here, overall seeing over 45 species in around three hrs. So quite good still at this time of the year but I could see that Lactarius and Russulas seen earlier this year there were now less around.

Inocybe napipes - Bulbous Fibrecap

Cortinarius cinnabarinus - Cinnabar Webcap

Cortinarius cinnabarinus - Cinnabar Webcap

Russula queletii - Fruity Brittlegill

Pseudocraterellus undulatus - Sinuous Chanterelle

Thelephora palmata - Stinking Earthfan
