PLANTLIFE SAY IT IS A FUNGI-FANTASTIC YEAR

Marvellous mushrooms of 2025 View this email in your browser Plantlife logo - The global voice for wild plants and fungi Hi John, Fungus season is giving way to the festive season! Before we get into the swing of the holidays we wanted to take a look back at a wonderful autumn full of everything from waxcaps to Wood Blewit. We've had some marvellous mushroom moments in 2025 - so join us for a wild walk, grab a guide and let's celebrate our favourite fungi. Celebrate the fungi kingdom Over the last few months, we've been encouraging you all to get out and about to try to find bright and beautiful waxcap fungi, and survey them through our citizen science campaign, Waxcap Watch. This year was bigger and better than ever before – with our brilliant citizen scientists we tripled last year’s survey numbers (and last year was already record-breaking!).’ This vital data helps us track the health of species‑rich grasslands and protect the rare fungi that call them home. Whether you spotted one waxcap or dozens, your contribution matters. Whilst there might be a few late waxcaps still to spot, the cold frosty weather is bringing the season to an end. But there are still fungi to be found right the way through the year! From Scarlet Elfcups to King Alfred's Cakes - the winter is a wonderful time to explore the fungi kingdom. Everything you need to know about fungi Thank you for helping us give a voice to the fantastic world of fungi - we can't wait to see what 2026 has in store. Thank you.
