Tuesday 28 October Round 1 Digital Competition

We had a busy evening with 76 images for judge Frank Blyth to review and score.  Once again the judge commented on the high standard in the Club class.  Ten images were awarded top marks (20/20) and Christine and Jan achieved top scores for both their images.  Well done to the top scorers and to everyone who entered.  

Here are the images which scored 19 and 20:

16th & 19th October - Fungus Forays at Dersingham Bog

 This was our first event of the new season and we were fortunate on both days to get fine weather.

Many thanks to Nigel Downer for leading these two practical workshops to Dersingham Bog National Nature Reserve.

We were shown many interesting and unusual fungi and given plenty of help and advice with identification and on how to obtain the best images of the fungi in their natural environment.

Some of the resulting images are shown below:
