Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Meeting of European Council for Conservation of Fungi (ECCF) 2001. Reports the different approaches and attitudes across Europe. Five spp protected by law in Sweden.

Academic research in the UK relating to field mycology.

Important Fungus Areas: feedback and interest.

Geastrum fornicatum: 70 fruitbodies in a Welsh churchyard.

Pink waxcap survey.

Sandy Stilt Puffball site destroyed by careless digger driver, despite being fenced off specifically to protect the fungus. No prosecution despite it being a protected species as there was no evident motive (I thought this was covered by "reckless"?)
