Entoloma vezzenaense - new to Britain Editorial With the season well underway, time for a mid-term report. Rainfall (mm) Rainfall figures (courtesy of Orielton Field Study Centre) show that after a fairly average April-July rainfall, August and September were wetter than average: something that may explain a reasonably promising start to the waxcap-grassland season. This year has been a busy one for events - and in this issue we report on our training day in May which covered rusts and DNA-barcoding and two autumn field recording events which were run in conjunction with other groups. Our next issue will include reports on our UK Fungus Day event hosted at Orielton Field Centre together with other recent recording/traing events in which we have been involved. As we develop our expertise in DNA-barcoding techiques we are happy to consider in-house projects where we use barcoding to support the identification of cryptic species from particular fungus assemblages. Currently we are looking at chanterelles, at the suggestion of Adam Pollard-Powell, and will report on this, and our work on sand dune morels, in the next issue. David Harries October 2019 Records Fungal galls on plants June produced some interesting fungal plant pathogens with the County's second record for camellia galls (Exobasidium camelliae) (pictured right) reported by Robin Taylor from his garden in Hayscastle.

  • Tarset and Greystead Biological Records
    Tarset and Greystead Biological Records published by the Tarset Archive Group 2015 Foreword Tarset Archive Group is delighted to be able to present this consolidation of biological records held, for easy reference by anyone interested in our part of Northumberland. It is a parallel publication to the Archaeological and Historical Sites Atlas we first published in 2006, and the more recent Gazeteer which both augments the Atlas and catalogues each site in greater detail. Both sets of data are also being mapped onto GIS. We would like to thank everyone who has helped with and supported this project - in particular Neville Geddes, Planning and Environment manager, North England Forestry Commission, for his invaluable advice and generous guidance with the GIS mapping, as well as for giving us information about the archaeological sites in the forested areas for our Atlas revisions; Northumberland National Park and Tarset 2050 CIC for their all-important funding support, and of course Bill Burlton, who after years of sharing his expertise on our wildflower and tree projects and validating our work, agreed to take this commission and pull everything together, obtaining the use of ERIC’s data from which to select the records relevant to Tarset and Greystead. Even as we write we are aware that new records are being collected and sites confirmed, and that it is in the nature of these publications that they are out of date by the time you read them. But there is also value in taking snapshots of what is known at a particular point in time, without which we have no way of measuring change or recognising the hugely rich biodiversity of where we are fortunate enough to live.
