Whilst most of the species are widespread, some are rarely reported and others are genuinely rare. The accumulated list reflects the range of tree species in the Rougham Estate woods and some deadwood habitats.
There are several places where you can see fungi growing adjacent to public or permissive footpaths in woodland and grassland. To minimise issues over-picking and picking of rare fungi, dangers of poisoning and conflicts with insects, Rougham Estate Trust discourages picking except for study and encourages walkers to photograph beautiful specimens and leave them for the enjoyment of others.
Rougham Estate Trust is committed to implementing woodland management recommendations that enhance deadwood habitat, retain veteran and non-commercial trees, and maximise the tree diversity so important for fungi.
