Weather: The days started with a torrential downpour which gradually cleared during the foray.
Report: We set off down the muddy lane in pouring rain to the far end of Piper's copse where we climbed over gate to be greeted by a fine display of Clavulinopsis fusiformis (Golden spindles). Within a few yards the recorder, Alan, had nearly worn out his pencil there were so many species to be found. Bryan, a lichen enthusiast, found several small species on mossy trunks including the lovely Mycena pseudocorticola and Mycena corynephora along with Hydropus floccipes. The first giving Paul Hugill a photographic challenge but well worth it if you look at the result. Later in the day Bryan came back with chanterelle which we noticed was blackening and was indeed the rare Red Data List species Cantharellus melanoxeros (Blackening Chanterelle). For those of you who have B&K Vol 2 the species featured there is, as the small text states, Cantharellus ianthinoxanthus. Despite the plethora of toadstool fruiting bodies Alan, as always, was keeping a sharp eye out on the logs and found a new Hampshire species whose new name is Rhizochaete radicata which is still on the checklist as Phanerochaete radicata. If you want more small print stuff many records on the FRDBI are also listed as Phanerochaete filamentosa a name which should be used for a North American species which is not found in the UK.
