FungiMushrooms and other Fungii appear regularly – is there an expert out there who would like to help identify them?

It would also be interesting to name & list all the shrubs and trees, and all the types of birds and other animals that are found on the Common. Knowledge of the current animal and plant life enables us to encourage conditions necessary for their ongoing success.
