Every year, we get a visit from Richard Iliffe and Tom Hering from the Leicestershire Fungi Study Group who very kindly survey the many species at New Lount. - this year's was done a few days ago on the 17th of October. It is good to hear that the Fungi Group were so happy with all the work we have done! "It was nice to see you at New Lount on Sunday morning. The site never lets us down and we had our best list of records for the year so far, Few are particularly unusual, but Scleroderma cepa, the Onion Earthball, is quite rare and New Lount is the only site in Leicestershire where we find it. It never ceases to amaze me that a former colliery site should produce so many species that normally only grow in unimproved high quality grassland, like the waxcaps and club fungi. I just cannot account for this, though I have heard of similar occurrences in South Wales. So many thanks to the volunteers who had cleared the area – the timing of this work was perfect for our visit." Full list:
