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.

Chinnor Hill, Bucks 27th August 2017

Today I went up the chalk hills escarpment to find Chiltern Gentian, which I did along with Autumn Genetian so that started the day well. There is a small beech based woodland on the way back to the car park and came by these delightful fungi including my first ever Magpie Inkcap Coprinopsis picacea.
