Weather: The day was dry and the sun was out, which slightly suppressed the noticeably chill breeze in the air.
Report: (Mark Jackson) Forayers were out in their droves today as a sizeable gathering mustered in the car park. Once we were organised and Sue had entered all of our names into a laptop, we set off. Thirty seconds into the foray I stumbled across a small troop of Phylloporus rhodoxanthus Syn (pelletieri) a species that is listed as a priority species on the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP). Once I had showed Eric he erupted with excitement as he has only seen this species once before and Alan has only seen it a few times before. According to our website there are only two records for this species and neither of these records are in the New Forest. As we were nearing the time and place for lunch, the species list was already quite substantial and Alan was having trouble keeping up with a non-stop trickle of forayers turning up with specimens in hand, Eric once again had too many Russulas to identify at home and Paul was valiantly keeping up with the many photo opportunities. Not far from the lunch spot Alan pointed out specimens of Phellinus robustus occupying one of the six known sites in the forest. We skirted along the edge of the woodland and followed a ride which produced Hydnellum concrescens and later Hydnellum spongiosipes both in the early stages of development. Both these species are vulnerable and are priority species listed on the UKBAP. After lunch the list continued to grow and Alan was forced to leave the ubiquitous Trochila ilicina and Biscogniauxia nummularia off of the list as there was not enough room left on the recording sheets. Species that caught the attention of the eye during the foray were an easily identifiable webcap, Cortinarius purpurascens with its remarkable deep lilac colouring on cutting and the delightfully diminutive Mycena stylobates, the beautifully plum coloured base of Boletus queletii, the golden yellow of Tricholoma sejunctum and the metallic yellow of Hypomyces chrysospermus in its conidial stage. On our way back to the car park we were rewarded with Xerocomus chrysonemus showing its yellow mycelium and the uncommon Lactarius controversus which was found not far from the car park. All in all a very productive day with several vulnerable and uncommon species found.
