No.51 April 2017 WARWICKSHIRE FUNGUS SURVEY

Introduction This newsletter covers the activities of the Warwickshire Fungus Survey during 2016 as recorded by the group members and although its primary purpose is to present the mycological records, other articles and contributions would be welcome. The records generally concern the foray programme but non-foray records from individuals and other groups have also been included particularly where they represent a new site record or an unusual / interesting occurrence. Where available, habitat and substrate information has been noted and observers are urged to record this important data whenever possible.

Reminder: Would forayers submitting dried specimens for the herbarium please ensure that they are accompanied by notes, particularly of characters that cannot be checked from dried material. These include, for agarics, fresh colour and any colour changes with age, handling or bruising and changes to the flesh colour when the fruit body is longitudinally sectioned; is the cap and or stem viscid, sticky?; peelability of the cap (Russula), milk colour and changes on drying (Lactarius); smell; taste. Also please provide a spore print and details of the literature consulted in arriving at a determination.

Species names have generally been taken from the Checklist of the British & Irish Basidiomycota (N. W. Legon, A Henrici et al) and the British Mycological Society’s computerised dictionary of fungus names (GBCHKLST, 11.01.09). Where this name differs from older names and is not yet in common usage, the older name is indicated in brackets for the first mention. In certain cases where species have been ‘lumped’ the original name is listed for future clarity. Note that updates 1–7 to the above checklist are now available at website http://www.basidiochecklist.info. However, the latest mass changes to familiar species have not yet been included in this newsletter. References to the Flora relate to Clark, M. C. (1980) A Fungus Flora of Warwickshire.

Foray Records 2016 The fungus season continues to follow its now familiar pattern with fewer records in early autumn and more records later in the year. For Warwickshire this means fewer mycorrhizal species. By careful searching and specialising interesting specimens can be found. I (JDS) have a continuing disappointment in the number of Russulales recorded on the foray programme: for 2016 these were for Lactarius sp. just one record – L. subumbonatus and Russula sp. six records. Unfortunately it is not just these: there were only four records of Amanita sp.; one record of Tricholoma sp.; one of Clitocybe nebularis; three of Rhodocollybia butyracea; four of Laccaria laccata; two Inocybe sp.; one Hebeloma sp.; and not a single Cortinarius sp.

Coombe Abbey Country Park 15.05.16 Seven regulars attended the first foray of the year on a dry sunny morning not expecting to find many fungi.
