It's Fungi Time Again

If you have been looking for Fungi during the autumn, you will have found it to be a productive pastime. Many new species have shown in Bicknor Wood this year. The list has been broadened to include Lichens too and has reached 36 species so far. The species shown in red are new since last year. 

The fungi page on the side bar of the blog home page will be updated at the end of the fruiting season.
