LONDON AND LOCAL FORAYS

Three forays were held in the London area: Mad Bess, Copse, and Park Woods, Ruislip, Saturday, 30 September; Knole Park, a first visit, Sunday, 8 October; Oxshott Heath, Saturday, 14 October. The Sorby Natural History Society held three forays: Chatsworth, Sunday, 10 September; Eccleshall Woods and Limb Valley Woods, Saturday, 14 October; Cordwell Valley, Sunday, 15 October. A foray to Lickey Hills was organized by the Botany Department of Birmingham University on Sunday, 8 October. In contrast to recent years, fungi were plentiful or abundant in all areas, to the delight of many young students who had previously seen only meagre collections.
