Trooping Funnel, Clitocybe geotropa. Picture taken November 1.
I’m hugely grateful to the Sussex Fungi Group who returned for a second year to survey the wood. Last year pouring rain, this year fog.
“By the end of the foray we had almost managed 60 species, so not a bad foray at all considering ‘the autumn season’ has seemingly been drawing to a close for about six weeks,” said Nick Aplin, who led the group.
