Black Truffle, Putt Woods as found by Max. Photo used in multiple publications.

Some time ago, on one of our fabulous Faversham fungus forays Max got all excited about a mossy bank in a woodland renown for it's amazing fungal diversity, often used by the Kent Field Group, Natural History Museum and other official fungal research organisations. I too have permission to gain entry. A privately owned wood comprised of ancient woodland, forgotten fruit orchards and non-managed coppice full of gems fungal and orchid. Once I got to max he had found this stunning black truffle. I have spawned a truffle dog!

 

It was seen by Jim Cornish, webmaster for a non-profit making group specialising in the fauna and flora and fungi in Newfoundland and Labrador who regularly publish a web-letter and in numerous fungal publications. Jim has publishes a fabulous piece on Mushroom Odours that I am proud to have helped illustrate with my photos.

 

This piece will be published in the international recognised "Fungi Magazine" in early 2021!

 

All credit to Maximilian Mackymoo-moo for finding this fabulous specimen, and yes, it was delicious......
