>>Mendip Ranger, & keen amateur mycologist, Nathan Orr led us on a walk seeking out some of the many fungi that thrive on the Hill.
The very dry summer this year meant that there were not so many fungi to see as we usually get at this time of year, but we still found a good range of wax-caps and many others.
Nathan talked about the important relationships that fungi foster and the importance of their roles in the environment.
On a very mild and sunny morning it was good to have some excellent young fungi spotters with us.
