Green Elfcup© Glynis Payne |
Following a night and morning of heavy rain, our group of intrepid fungi foragers were rewarded with a great range of fungi in the woods from the Hedgehog with tooth like spines where you would expect to see gills to the turquoise cups of Green Elfcup, the fascinating maze-like pattern of pores in the Oak Mazegill and the little purple jewel of Amethyst Deceiver. Full list below. The final reward was to be greeted with sunshine as we emerged from the wood. R&GP
