Pat O'Reilly ~ An illustrated talk on native fungi
Local author, Pat O'Reilly, will give an illustrated talk on native fungi: hopefully this will be combined with a "fungi walk" earlier in the autumn.
50-odd edible species can be found throughout Wales, although given the variety of landscapes you’ll find it’s possible to discover as many as 20 different edible species in one short walk. The cep or porcini is quite common during the autumn around beech and oak trees. Chanterelles are also quite common in Wales and are best found near birch, chestnut and hazel trees. These orangey –tan coloured mushrooms are pretty distinctive and smell very faintly of apricots. But if you spot an orange coloured mushroom on a rotting tree root, leave it alone! It’s a ‘false chanterelle’ and highly poisonous!

"Despite being born in Central London (1938) I have always, from a very early age, had an interest in natural history. I studied photography at the London School of Printing and Graphic Art and eventually had my own studio specialising in advertising and editorial photography – I only wish digital photography had been available then! My wildlife work acted as a nice contrast to my commercial photography, which subsidised trips to Scandinavia, Europe and several African countries. Since retiring from ‘the London scene’ and my commercial work in 1991 I have added North America and Canada to the list. I am mainly interested in birds but also cover other aspects of natural history and, as I give illustrated talks (digital), this also includes local people and habitat etc.
