New to Hampshire: Hypocrea strictipilosa
Report: Members of the HFRG were joined by the Friends of Hollybank Woods who through Tim Crook had asked us to visit their wood. Hollybank Wood is mainly an ancient deciduous wood, being part of the Forest of Bere, with some areas of coniferous plantation. We visited both deciduous and coniferous areas during the day. Although we had some recent rains the ground was still generally dry with most finds still to be found on wood. With the help of the sharp eyed young forayers we were soon starting to build up a list which at the end of the day amounted to nearly 90 species. Perhaps most notable was the second only record in South Hampshire of Postia sericeomollis, a bracket fungus growing on spruce. As we were making our way back to the cars with boxes full of specimens needing further identification work Alan and Stuart, after a cursory glance, dismisssed a fungus as the common Brown Rollrim (Paxillus involutus). Eric, following on behind, was delighted to find on closer inspection it was indeed Gyroporus castaneus, always a nice find. A few yards from the entrance we finally had the first sighting of the day for Ganoderam australe, the commonest fungus we record. Hypocrea strictipilosa is new to Hamsphire because recent work by Walter Jaklitsch including new keys and descriptions for Hypocrea shows that Hypocrea gelatinosa has probably been misdetermined in the past.
