Dalgety Bay - Cracking Bolete, Gromit

Back on track to reach a targetted 1200 by end August. There are three categories I'd like to go over 200 in which I haven't reached yet - fungi, diptera and moths. We'll see, but the signs aren't at all bad at this point.

  1. Hope it's a good fungi season, Ali. I'm pleased to report that I've seen a few recently, just waiting for them to be verified. Luckily a friend of mine is a fungi expert, otherwise I'd be lost. I hope this isn't regarded as cheating!

    1. Absolutely not. I'll definitely be referring things, probably across all taxa!
