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.

Penn Woods and Penn St Church 29th October 2017

Once again joined up with the Bucks Fungus Group led by Penny Callington. After a slow start in the paths from the church the common and cricket pitch were busy with waxcaps and other fruiting bodies, much more than this time last year when hardly any had appeared. I found my first Field Blewitt, and first for the foray with a white Puffball being found close to the road by mole hills, was a Mosaic Puffball, and large one at that. Finding Branching Oyster on a fallen tree. Some of my finds here:
