| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Discusses two rare summer fungi: Piptoporus quercinus and Polyporus umbellatus; alerts us to recent splits of Daldinia concentrica; pleas for specimens to be retained of rare finds, (so the identifier should check an unfamiliar fungus isn’t rare); more about wood mulch and how widespread these hitherto rare fungi have become. |
