Tyntesfield Fungal Audit :

Monthly surveys of fungi at Tyntesfield, a National Trust Estate near Bristol have been conducted since October 2005. These have identified more than 500 different species and have revealed that the lawns around the House are a nationally important site for Waxcap (Hygrocybe) fungi. Full details of all the 2005 -2008 Audits are available.

The site provides information about fungi in the region bounded by Bristol, Portishead, Clevedon, Weston super Mare, Bridgwater, Glastonbury and Frome.


We describe our current foray programme, our foray records, our surveys of Tyntesfield, and provide some links to useful web sites.

The great variation in structures and colours are illustrated in our Gallery, along with some information as to where these wonderful fungi are to be found.
