A few intrepid explorers braved the wind and rain at half term, to search for fungi in Burngreave Cemetery. Michael Senkans, SCC Biodiversity officer, led the tour starting and ending at the old mortuary chapel near the Melrose Road entrance.
Michael will be writing a report of this and other recent visits explaining the diversity of the flora in the cemetery. This should be available in the New Year.
We already had evidence of the presence of Turkey Tail and Fly Agaric in the grounds but several species new to us were found. Unfortunately none were edible so we won't be able to supply local restaurants!
