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
