WFV - Gallows Hill, Otley, Tuesday 12 October, 2021
It was a calm and fine day as 8 of us met for our visit to Gallows Hill Nature Reserve. Our last visit had been at the end of 2019 and had produced a surprising range of fungi. Today, in dry conditions, fungi were still in evidence but not the same number of species. None of those present today had the depth of John's knowledge, which had been greatly appreciated on our last visit and was sadly missed today. Of those species we did see we felt reasonably confident in identifying turkey tail, glistening inkcap, blushing bracket, coral spot fungus, candlesnuff, puffballs and lumpy bracket. Mycena sp were noted but there were others which we were at a loss to put a name to.
