October’s fungi foray

Some of our members braved a drizzly Saturday to enjoy a guided tour of the waxcap delights of Gentleshaw Churchyard with Richard Sunter, our speaker from February this year. It’s a site of regional importance with over 14 species of interest, many of which are quite stunning, as you can see from the photos. The specific conditions for waxcaps to thrive are becoming rare, so those of us who couldn’t make it missed a real treat! The group then made a donation towards the upkeep of the churchyard. Thank you to Christie for organising and for the pictures, please scroll to the bottom of the post to see them all.
