Over
a hundred specimens of the Tubaria furfuracea
mushroom
were growing on their long stems in the long grass by the stream
near the Steyning road. They were darker brown-orange than the previous
pictures and one of them had a white dandruffy cap which may have given
this species its Latin specific name. None of the caps were concave
(which could be inferred as a possibility from the Generic name
= Tuba ?).
