A chance meeting on 16th October with Karen Rodger of the IOM Fungus Group led to a very enjoyable and impromptu couple of hours recording fungi with her at Ballachurry the same day. Here are photos of some of them, together with Karen's full list of identifications.
Many thanks to Karen for an interesting afternoon and for giving up her time later to do the identifications. Many of them are new records for the Reserve.
