Lockdown lunacy.....We were obviously due to have our first foray of the year round about St Georges Day in Trench Wood to hunt for the eponymous fungus, Calocybe gambosa, but it's all cancelled for the moment obviously.
Another reason why we can't organise any forays is because Di, our leader and tutor is still stuck in Spain. She has however been in touch in case we were concerned for her welfare to say that life in general is good (sunshine and cheap booze) and that she has a new pet called Eddie (Lizzard) , an Iberian wall lizard who basks ,not on the wall ,but on her concrete toadstool. We hope she doesn't get too attached and try to bring him home. Forays will resume as soon as possible, meanwhile if you find anything on your exercise walks let us know on the Facebook page. |
Worcestershire Fungus Group
The Worcestershire Fungus Group has been in existence for 20 years. It was formed to cater for the increasing number of people sharing a fascination for the extensive range of fungi to be found in the county. Throughout the year, we walk in the woodlands of Worcestershire, and occasionally, we are invited by other county groups to join in their own forays.
The group’s aims are to promote the study, conservation and recording of the variety of species of fungi which grow in Worcestershire. These records are passed to landowners and the local Biological Records Office. Perhaps more importantly, they are also added to National Databases for future research and records.
We welcome anyone interested in learning more about fungi, no previous knowledge is necessary!
Whether your interest is casual, mycological, culinary, conservational or even photographic there is scope for all activities on one of our forays.
The group is currently made up from members with all levels of experience, from beginners to experts……. and all are welcome. Hopefully, you will get some idea of our activities through this site, and would like to join us…..we are actively seeking new members of all ages.
Membership is £7 per person for the year
£11 for a couple
Individual forays £3 per person
Interested? Then just contact us.
The Worcestershire Fungi Group is a member of the Association of British Fungus Groups (ABFG) which provides public liability insurance for our forays, and is also affiliated to the British Mycological Society.
