The London Fungus Group has been operating for thirteen years and during this time thousands of records have been collected, including over 500 records for Hampstead Heath. During this time a number of surveys have been completed which include;
- Richmond Park
- Bushy Park
- Kensington Gardens
- Holland Park
- The Borough of Kensington & Chelsea
- Oxleas Wood & Greenwich
Interested parties may obtain a copy of these surveys by contacting londonfungusgroup@gmail.com
With budgetary restrictions, these types of surveys are being restricted so the task of collecting this data falls to volunteer mycologists like myself and I welcome collaboration with my peers. If you are interested in contributing to this site please contact me directly at londonfungusgroup@gmail.com
The data required to record on this site includes;
- Characteristics - pileus, hymenium, stipe, odour
- Good quality photograph
- Location
- Habitat
- Date
- Spore print if available
For any new species to the Greater London area, I would welcome a sample of the fungi for microscopic purposes and potential depositing with Kew Gardens.
