On October 5th, National Fungus day was held at Kenfig. There were ‘Fungus Forays’, exhibits and photographs of all sorts of fungi, and experts were on hand to answer questions about the world of Fungi. 54 species were found on the day , including 23 different waxcap fungi, found only in unimproved grasslands which are an important feature of the Reserve
Kenfig Nature Reserve is famous, among many other things, for the huge range of mushrooms and toadstools to be found there. Chris, our warden, reckons that there are over 1000 species growing on the Reserve, mostly producing their fruiting bodies in the autumn months. A walk around the Reserve at this time of year will reveal many of them in the grasslands and the wooded areas.
