REPORTS OF MEETINGS
September 12th. 1971. Fungus Foray, Epping Forest
A party of about forty gathered at the Wake Arms and
set off in fine, warm sunshine. Several small groups were
directed into different areas in order to achieve a good
coverage. Dry weather was again responsible for the
scarcity of specimens, but when everyone met up at the new
Field Studies Centre at High Beach, a reasonable display
of eighty species was presented. Baskets were emptied and
their contents examined by Geoffrey Kibby, Doreen and
Heather Boardman. The excellent facilities at the Centre
enabled members to circulate freely around the display,
whilst enjoying a welcome cup of tea. A short business
meeting was conducted by the president, who appealed for
new members for the Club. Notable finds of the day were:
Boletus carpini, Russula amoena and the parasitic Boletus
growing on Scleroderma. Many common species were absent.

which he is a verderer.
