Fungi

Due to the unmanaged nature of the woodland there are large amounts of standing and lying deadwood, much of which is in an advanced state of decay, providing an ideal environment for a wide range of fungi. The friends group is currently looking into the possibility of getting university students to perform a survey of the local mycology.
