January 4th Craterellus tubaeformis (Trumpet Chanterelle) Our first find for 2026! Justin Long found these fruitbodies in Apsley Woods nr Milton Keynes, easily recognisable despite being completely frozen solid! The genus name may surprise a few here as this was previously in Cantharellus; it has also had several different English names including Yellowlegs (very apt) and Winter Chanterelle (also in this case apt) though it is certainly not restricted to fruiting at this time and is often to be found in good numbers during the autumn months. This is a mushroom which, if you come across one, there are nearly always more close by though they're usually surprisingly hard to see and you need to 'get your eye in' as the saying goes! Surprisingly, our previous Finds entry appears to be from 2023 because this is not a rarity. Previous finds |
