Introduction
This newsletter covers the activities of the Warwickshire Fungus Survey during 2007 as recorded by the group members and although its primary purpose is to present the mycological records, other articles and contributions would be welcome. The records generally concern the foray programme but non-foray records from individuals and other groups have also been included where they represent a new site record or an unusual / interesting occurrence. Where available, habitat and substrate information has been noted and observers are urged to record this important data whenever possible.
Species names have generally been taken from the Checklist of the British & Irish Basidiomycota (N. W. Legon, A Henrici et al), including the First Update (Winter 2006) and the British Mycological Society’s computerised dictionary of fungus names (GBCHKLST, 27.03.04). Where this name differs from older names and is not yet in common usage, the older name is indicated in brackets for the first mention. In certain cases where species have been ‘lumped’ the original name is listed for future clarity.
* indicates new to site. Up-to-date lists are not available for all sites.
** indicates new to vice-county 38.

WFS Database Project 2007
The collaboration with Warwickshire Biological Records Centre (WBRC) is nearing completion; all the records on paper which the centre has agreed to enter on Mycorec for us are now at Warwick. At the time of writing they have entered approximately 14,000 records and between 1,000 and 1,500 have still to be entered. When WBRC have completed the entries we shall be supplied with a CD containing all records they have entered together with dictionaries containing all WFS sites (with grid references) and all WFS people. The data will go to Paul Kirk via Bill Moodie for entry onto the FRDBI, with allocation of FRDBI numbers. Following incorporation with our existing WFS database of some 25,000 records, a copy of the whole can go to WRBC.
There is still outstanding work to be done, David Antrobus and Bill Moodie each have small batches to enter, there are some personal records covering the period from publication of The Fungus Flora of Warwickshire (1980) to the present day to be entered and also foray records from 2006 and 2007.
Then there will need to be a check that no records have been missed, in particular Ascomycetes, as there are a set of Ascomycetes species cards listing sites for each up to 1980 compiled by Malcolm Clark in the course of producing the Flora.
It would also be desirable to add as many as possible of the early records from the literature – Bagnall, Flora of Warwickshire; Grove, British Stem and Leaf Fungi 2 vols; Withering, A Systematic Arrangement of British Plants; Purton, Midland Flora; plus Midland Naturalist 1878-93 (the total issued); and various Midland Natural History Society journals.
Then it is just a matter of keeping the database up to date, for WFS, WBRC and FRDBI!!

Foray Records2007
April was fine and warm but the heavy rains of June and July soon dispelled thoughts of a hot summer and promised well for the fungus season. However, after a short lived flush in July, August and September proved very disappointing with fewer fungi to be found than in a normal year. After some more rain October gradually improved.
Ufton Fields Nature Reserve SSSI29.04.07
After the warmest and one of the driest Aprils ever, very few fungi were found on this pleasant spring morning.

Brueton Park19.08.07
A group of seven regulars and three visitors met on a mainly dry morning at this Solihull park and conservation centre. Prospects were not good but we did manage to discover a few items of interest. One of these was a nest of Dog Stinkhorn ‘eggs’ in a small pine copse. From here we entered the conservation area and walked the muddy path by the river before crossing to the visitor centre and exploring the gardens behind it.

It was a warm sunny morning and the farmers were busy processing the harvest as we left our cars at Cold Comfort Farm to walk to the wood. The wood is mainly oak and hazel and supports a Roe Deer population.

Wellesbourne Wood09.09.07
The continuing dry weather did not augur well for our first visit to this private woodland for some thirty years. The wood is rather unusual in that although full of broad-leaved trees there are very few oaks and thus the potential for fungi is somewhat reduced.

Eight regulars plus Kay and Peter Reeve attended this foray in the far south of the county. We kept to the lower path through the hazel, ash and oak woodland as this damper area had more potential. The number of species had improved particularly of Mycena and other small agarics.

Ten regulars met on a beautiful autumn morning for our first visit to this hillside in the south-east of the county. Having admired the large bonfire, we strolled through the grazed meadows looking for waxcaps and other grassland species, gradually climbing to the edge of Shuckburgh Park where there were a number of mature beech and other trees.

This small acidic woodland, jointly owned by Worcestershire and Warwickshire Wildlife Trusts, is just in Worcestershire and is now managed by the former trust. It is predominately oak with frequent holly, birch, rowan and bilberry. The following records have already been entered on to the BMS FRDBI.
