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.

Pavis Wood, Dancers End, Bucks 15th October 2017

I joined the Bucks Fungus Groups foray around the virtually surveyed less area around Pavis Wood. This wood had recently been acquired as part of the nearby Dancers End Nature Reserve and is hoped will be an attractive new area to visit.The area we recorded within had a mix of Oak, Beech as you would expect, Birch and Hazel. There was a fairly steep descent at times but were finding quite a few Tricholoma species, of which I found three alone. Not a big count on the day but here are some highlights that I found.
