Snowdrops (Amy Lewis)<br />
Uncommon<br />
Fungi Found<br />
NEWS IN BRIEF<br />
Meet Terana caerulea – also known as the<br />
Colbalt Crust Fungus. This very distinctive<br />
(and dare we say, beautiful) fungus was<br />
found by GWT member and stalwart<br />
volunteer, Chris Field, in late November on<br />
a dead stick lying in leaf litter on the ground<br />
in Croes Robert Wood.<br />
The species does not seem to have been<br />
recorded here before and there are only<br />
six other records across the rest of old<br />
Monmouthshire. <strong>Gwent</strong> Fungus Group have<br />
added the sighting to their database which<br />
gets copied to the FRDBI (Fungus Record<br />
Database of Britain and Ireland) managed<br />
by the British Mycological Society.<br />
