UK Fungus Day at AshridgeAshridge was the ideal venue for this event: a SSSI site half in Bucks, half in Herts, a large expanse of mature mixed woodland with good grassland areas too, also a very popular destination for recreation having car parks and excellent facilities including a café and shop within the NT building complex where our display was to be held.

Planning for this our most ambitious event by far started over six months ago, involving meetings and many emails for the six of us involved – three from each group, putting together the design, logistics and contents for the display under the leadership of Steve Kelly, our enthusiastic and tireless organiser. This was our joint contribution to National Fungus Day, for which the BMS provided our banners to adorn the entrance.
