18 forayers turned out for our joint field trip with Clyde & Argyll Fungus Group yesterday. It was unseasonably warm and a lot drier than forecast, with just a few very short showers.
Fungi were not as prolific as on our 2011 visit but with so many pairs of eyes we kept foray leader Dick Peebles busy with things we had found, most of which he was not only able to name but tell us a good deal about, including which to avoid, which to eat, and even how to cook them.
I’ll put up a full report with photos shortly. In the meantime here is Jan’s photo of two of Fearnoch Forest’s best-known inhabitants, the Chanterelle and the Scottish Wood Ant.
