About Us
Shropshire is an exciting county with its
meadows, woodlands, hills, meres and
mosses. Within these habitats flourishes an
extraordinary fungus flora ranging from the
deliciously edible Penny Bun to the highly
poisonous Death Cap.
Formed in 1992 the Shropshire Fungus Group
has over 30
members and our
principal aim is to find, identify and record as many species
of fungus as we can. We have a few knowledgeable people
who help and instruct the less expert of us. We organise a
programme of forays throughout the county each year. All
the species we identify are entered onto our database. The
records are also submitted to the Fungal Records Database
of Britain and Ireland, and we share records with the
Shropshire Ecological Data Network.
We now have over 52,000 records covering over 3,000
species, but we believe there are many more to find. A
checklist of fungi recorded in the county can be seen
here
. If you would like to learn more about this subject and help us find further
species why not join us. For more information about our activities contact our
Secretary,
Philip Leather.
