Earlham Cemetery fungus wander, 12 November 2024

Jeremy kindly offered to show me some of the good fungi finds in Earlham Cemetery that were discovered on a recent ‘Friends of Earlham Cemetery’ guided walk. It was much quicker and easier than trying to follow directions and find them myself!

There was plenty to look at in both halves of the cemetery - and I was delighted to see some new species I’d not encountered before. These were Veined Shield and Veiled Conecap both together on an area of soil and woodchip, Ivory Bonnet, Ringed Milkcap, Crazed Cap and the wonderfully named Obscure Domecap. Also seen on our wander were Aromatic Pinkgill, Tan Pinkgill, Fool’s Funnel, Redlead Roundhead, Turf Bell, Meadow Coral, Meadow Waxcap, Scarlet Waxcap, Snowy Waxcap, Cushion Bracket, Deathcap and the distinctive bolete Ascot Hat (another one with a great name)
