30 7 LEZANT FLORAL ART AND GARDEN GROUP At the October meeting our members enjoyed an interesting talk by Dr Fran- ces Howard on the History of Daffodils in the Tamar Valley, plus a few hints on how to display daffodils for showing. It was an illustrated talk and traced the earliest varieties in the 1600s to some of the ones we grow now. The Tamar Valley and other parts of Cornwall were the main suppliers of early daffodils to the London markets as they were sent by train. However, with the closure of most of the branch lines in the 1960s, this industry ended. Local daffodils are still available for sale, but the large fields of these lovely flowers are gradually disappearing. Watch this space for many During the two World Wars, flower growing had to cease but the bulbs were more exciting excursions in kept by being placed into hedgerows. These are also not so prolific nowa- days, but Dr Howard said that she and other enthusiasts are working to en- 2019 sure our native ones are kept. The tips for showing daffodils included the use of shelving and the type of vases used and Shirley will pass this informa- tion onto the Horticultural Society when the 2019 Daffodil Show is discussed. Dr Frances was presented with a bouquet of flowers, and requested a chari- table donation in lieu of any fee. The raffle prize for the meeting was aptly a bag of mixed daffodil bulbs!

26 11 From Tessa Baker, regarding the the fungi picture iin the November issue …”it shows the Honey Fungus - Armillaria mellea. Honey Fungus is common and edible if well cooked but can upset some people. Toadstools are the spore -bearing or reproductive organs. The thread-like mycelia or vegetative state live in the ground and invade trees. These threads amalgamate in time to form black threads or cords and so the fungus is sometimes called the Bootlace Fungus. The clump in the photo is growing on the stump of a cherry tree but honey fungus will parasitize most trees and kill them. The mycelia are slightly bioluminescent but this is difficult to detect.” A word of warning from the editor: DON’T EAT IT IF YOU CAN’T POSITIVELY IDENTIFY IT AS SAFE TO EAT!!!
