MYFG foray list - Boston Spa, 2007

MYFG foray list - British Library, Boston Spa - 20 October 2007

Foray report - Mary Larner

Our visit to the British Library was a privilege as it’s only open by invitation.

As soon as we got to the car park we were overwhelmed by hundreds of Russula exalbicans, Tricholoma scalpturatum, Lactarius pubescens and a Boletus luridus or so.

The woods and lawns were very productive and included 2 identifiable Cortinarius. Tricholoma terreum under its pines was a useful contrast to the earlier one under broadleaves on a grassy margin. Positively text-book.

This and every foray in 2007 produced Stropharia caerulea/pseudocyanea so the weather was good for something.
