Hi,
I recently found a patch of Tricholoma sulphureum, confirmed by experts on wildaboutbritain, in Burghfield: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16464379

I also found some of what I recognise to be Cortinarius sanguineus in Greathouse Wood next to the M4: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16147257 and then another patch of Cortinarius sanguineus next to this spotting of another lot of what COULD be T. sulphureum (unconfirmed) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16576075 .

Please let me know whether this was e-mail was useful or not.

Kind regards,
Jack

[...] RDNHS was founded in 1881 and is still going strong: the group runs a programme of outdoor visits to sites of wildlife interest and indoor talks about subjects ranging from earthworms to bird conservation in Ecuador. I don’t get along to their meetings as often as I’d like (especially at the moment, as I’m teaching six days a week and several evenings too), but I can thoroughly recommend them. Not only do you get a fascinating look at the natural world, but you meet some phenomenally accomplished amateur and professional naturalists who will generously share their knowledge with you. A list of their upcoming outdoor trips (on midweek evenings as well as Saturdays and Sundays) can be found on their website. [...]

Your outing sounds wonderful. How fondly I remember the countryside walks I took when I was fortunate enough to visit England a few years ago.
I just wanted to say, that I see wild parsnip on your list of sitings, and I want to make sure you know not to keep your distance from this one. It can do real damage to your skin.
Check out a recent post I wrote about this green menace.

Thanks for bringing back great memories,

Comment on Slow-worm success – 6th April 2009 by Harriet Townsend

Just seen a slow worm in Palmer Park, Reading. 30cm bronze and shiny, followed it closely for about 2 metres until it went into undergrowth. This year for the first time a large area of the Park has been left unmown and the resulting variety of long grasses is delightful. Maybe this is why i have seen the slow worm this year.
