6th November 2021
At the start of November I attended a Norfolk Fungus Study Group foray at Broadland Country Park, where NNNS are one year into a three-year monitoring project. It was very well attended, the downside of which is that people end up straggling out all over the place, with the positive being more eyes to look for fungi. I had hoped to see a few of the scarce birch species that have been found here in the past such as Ghost Bolete, but as that part of the site has been well recorded we instead moved quickly past the first compartments to spend some time in the damper areas further along.
The fungus list for the day was well over 100 species, although I didn't see all of them. Some of my highlights included Heningomyces candidus, Conifer Shield (Pluteus pouzarianus). the slime mould Leocarpus fragilis, Isaria farinosa on a dead Glow-worm and a very glutinous Yellow Webcap (Cortinarius delibutus).
There were a few interesting invertebrates seen too, in particular I had hoped to see the harvestman Nemastoma bimaculatum and one was under the first log we checked!
