Saturday 16th April,
Springhill Estate, Moneymore, Co.Tyrone
This was a lovely site well worth a return autumn visit. Some
of the trees are majestic and the grounds and house are a delight. In between
the showers, there were enough fungi to keep us guessing. The best find was that
of the Myxomycete (slime mould), Badhamia macrocarpa on felled sycamore
trunks. This was the first time it was found in Ireland since 1920. Other
dramatic finds
were the mass of earth stars, Geastrum triplex - fruiting bodies from
last year - under a huge Yew and, at a second site, under a Monterey Cypress.
There was other hangers on from last year - a remnant of a Giant Puffball and a
well decayed Inonotus dryadeus, but there were also signs of things to
come with Psytharella spadiceogrisea and Panaeolus acuminatus out.

Saturday July 26th, 1pm: Baronscourt, near
Newtownstewart, Co.Tyrone
The weather was mostly pleasant but we were not expecting to find much as
it has been a pretty unproductive year so far. We immediately found, however,
some clapped out Russulas under an old oak tree in the car park but could not
identify them. The agent, Robert Scott, gave us a warm welcome, squared us up
with the gamekeeper , made sure we did not disturb (poach?) any of the many
pheasants and showed us where to foray. This was two hundred and fifty acres of
beech wood interspersed with oak, ash some conifers and many rhododendron
bushes. Although we had to hunt hard for what we found, there were two rewarding
finds which made the day: the elegant Pluteus salicinus and Volvariella
gloiocephala. A young Peziza with a long grooved stalk foxed us as well.

Saturday August 16th, 1pm: Glenmore Estate,
Ballybofey, Co.Donegal.
The warm weather had baked most areas so we were not too hopeful on this
foray, but the wood turned out to be pleasantly wet and muddy so there were
fungi to be found. It was mainly an ash wood, but there were scattered oak,
beech and alder to give some ecto-mycorrhizal interest. The best find was that
of Lactarius cyathuliformis, a small milkcap under Alder with a dark
olivaceous centre. This is probably its first Irish record, but it is also
probably overlooked. There were also beautiful specimens of Chlorociboria
aeruginascens and Amanita vaginata. The amount of Polyporus badius
on fallen ash branches was also notable.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what this is??

Saturday September 6th, 1pm: Shane's Castle,
Antrim
The drought continues... Shane's Castle has some of the oldest trees in
Northern Ireland (and possibly Ireland) so this was an eagerly anticipated
foray. The dry weather limited our finds of ectomycorrhizal fungi however, but
it was noticeable that the amount of brackets was not bad for N.Ireland (but
probably still poor compared to GB with its longer cover of woodland). Inonotus
dryadeus, Laetiporus sulphureus and Fistulina hepatica were all
present. In terms of Agarics (I can't comment on Howard's lichen list!), the
best finds were that of Entoloma sinuatum, Marasmius coharens (in perfect
condition) and curiously Leccinum duriusculum under Hazel. There were
also some huge specimens of Boletus radicans. Some very curious Russulas
still await identification and they are probably the best finds of all. But this
was only scratching on the surface of a huge estate. We only got into one small
area and certainly would love to go back..

Saturday September 27th, 2pm:
Loughgall Manor, Co.Armagh
The joint foray with the Armagh Field Naturalists Group was attended
by about twenty people with roughly equal members from each side.
Loughgall Manor/Country Park is a splendid site with rich soil and
mixed conifer/deciduous woodland habitat. as we expected in this, so
far, poor year only forty or so species were identified - not a
single Russula and only one each of Lactarius & Suillus.
However, we were rewarded with an abundance of earth stars and the rare Melanophyllum
eyrei. About four specimens of the latter were found
in thin grass alongside a palisade of lime trees.

Fermanagh Weekend October 18-19
This
year we stayed at Arch Tullyhona Farm Guest House run by Rosemary and
Geoffrey Armstrong. Situated between Florencecourt and the
Marble
Arch
Caves
,
this delightful establishment provides first class accommodation,
hospitality and home cooking - you even get whisky to put on your
porridge. A record turnout, with eight plus little Soaia on the Friday
night and fourteen on the Saturday. The highlight of our four course
gourmet Saturday night dinner was home cooked and home reared lamb,
followed up by an interesting musical evening featuring the Boar's Head
Carol (in four part harmony) and various Irish folk songs. Unlike last
year (for those who can remember it) we retired to bed early. Five sites
were visited: Inish Rath / Florencecourt (Chris leading) and Inishturk/Claddagh
Glen (Gerry leading) on Saturday followed by Corey's Point (David leading)
on Sunday. Finally a most warm welcome to the six new members whose first
experience of NIFG was the residential.

Island
not far from the western road-bridge. Brad Robson of the RSPB piloted us there from Castle
Caldwell through some very choppy water - nobody was seasick. The island,
very overgrown and with many dead/dying trees (mostly birch), was rather
unproductive.

Sunday October 19th: Corry's
Point Forest Nature Reserve, Belcoo
The most prolific foray of the year so far. This interesting wood that
projects out into Lower Lough Macnean has a very interesting Willow and Alder
lake shore fringe with Oak, Hazel, Ash and the odd planted Beech above it on the
small hill. The most spectacular find was Cortinarius olearioides (subfulgens).
This is a Phlegmacium with a sticky cap, but dry stipe. The flesh goes pink with
KOH putting it in the section fulvi. Then, the small spores and flesh
colours identify it as olearioides. Other good finds were the Horn Stalkball, Onygena
equina on a sheep's horn, the purple Lactarius lilacinus under Alder,
the masses of Bitter Poisonpie, Hebeloma sinapizans and the Blue
Roundhead, Stropharia cyanea in the field on the way to the wood.

Saturday October 25th, 1pm: Dromantine College,
Co.Down.
A cool afternoon with winter feeling near. The parkland immediately
surrounding the abbey was the most interesting part of the estate and not
just for fungi, but also for wedding photographs. I just pity the poor couple
whose photos feature an odd looking bunch all wrapped up in winter woolies on
their hands and knees in the background. It all
looked very dry but once we started looking, there were a lot of
ecto-mycorrhizal fungi deep in the moss - a lovely specimen of Russula
faginea (under Oak which is common here in N.Ireland), the Fragile
Brittlegill, Russula fragilis, the Girdled Webcap, Cortinarius trivialis, the
Earthy Webcap, Cortinarius
hinnuleus, the Tawny Milkcap, Lactarius fulvissimus and
lots of The Miller, Clitopilus prunulus. The Oak Bracket, Inonotus
dryadeus, was another interesting find, but my favourite was the club,
Typhula phacorrhiza complete with sclerotium at its base. This
site must be good for Boletes earlier in the year.

Woodland Trust Reserve, near Maghera
The final foray of the season and it was a gloomy day - winter was
on its way. Woodland can be traced back on this site to the 15th century
so it is an old wood, but typical of many Irish woods, it had been heavily
grazed by stock in the past so what is found on the ground could be
better. However, there were still good things to be found. The interesting
finds were a Russula that is still waiting to be identified but which is
possibly R.lundellii, the two Cortinarius, Cortinarius rigens
with an iodoform smell and rooting stipe, and Cortinarius
subpurpurascens which bruised strongly purple on the stipe, Crepidotus
epibryus on the leaf (2nd NI record), Entoloma vinaceum var.
fumosipes (small spored, glabrous and with short fat cells in the cap)
and Nyctalis parasitica on the rotting Russula.
