Nature
Mushrooms & fungi
211 species of fungi and lichens — late summer rains in August bring the biggest flush.
Fallen logs in the floodplain forest are covered in shelf fungi year-round — turkey-tail, tinder polypore and the big, scaly dryad’s saddle in spring. After late-summer rains the woods fill with chicken-of-the-woods, hen-of-the-woods, coral fungi and puffballs. Lichens such as greenshield and British soldiers grow on bark and old fence posts in every season.
Naturalists have logged 211 species of mushrooms & fungi within 10 km of the village. The most species are recorded in August. Below are the 99 species with at least two research-grade records, most-recorded first.

Safety: Many mushrooms are toxic and some are deadly lookalikes of edible species. Never eat a wild mushroom without expert identification, and check the rules for the park you’re in before collecting.
