Marches Fungi

Gwent Group

 

 

Gwent Fungus Group holds regular meetings throughout the year but mainly focussed on Spring and Autumn, we meet for a couple of hours mostly on Saturday mornings, with the occasional either midweek or Sunday meeting. 

The group is involved in surveying the fungi to be found in the Gwent area, both for scientific purposes and of course our own pleasure.  We do not, however, promote the picking of fungi for the pot during our meetings, although help will of course be given by the more confident identifiers in the identification of both edible and poisonous species.
