Fabulous Fungi in HT Churchyard

P1001008 2This year has been an excellent year for the waxcap mushrooms and other fungi in our internationally important churchyard. There have been many visitors and tours over the last few weeks, as the warm wet weather makes for the perfect conditions. Of particular note, local ecologist Tony Marshall has found and had the identity confirmed of a very rare species, which has only ever been found in this country three times. It is Clavaria Asperulispora (pictured), so rare it does not have an English name. It might not look much, but it is a reminder of quite how special the churchyard is and how grateful we are to the volunteers who manage this rare acid chalk grassland site.
