To contact the Shropshire Fungus Group please write to Roy Mantle (Shropshire's fungi recorder) at roy@homepcemail.co.uk or natural.environment@shropshire.gov.uk

Roy would welcome records of fungi you may have seen in Shropshire.  Remember to provide a minimum of:

Who - The name of the person who saw it and if someone else identified it, include their name.

What - The name of the fungi you have seen

Where - The name, and ideally the grid reference of the place you saw it

When - The date you saw it

It is also useful to record what the fungi was growing on.  For example it might be growing on the fallen branch of a broadleaved tree, on a live Oak tree, or perhaps just from the soil.
