Rare Species of Pink ‘Fairy Club’ Fungus Discovered in UK for First Time
A delightful discovery has been made in England, where a rare pale pink fungus, known as the fairy club, was spotted for the very first time in Great Britain during a mushroom survey last autumn. This enchanting fungus, native to Italy, resembles a tennis ball in size and has been verified through DNA testing to distinguish it from other similar species. The remarkable find was made by a dedicated group of Naturewatch volunteers from Somer Valley Rediscovered, located in the picturesque southwest of England. DNA extraction took place in Scotland before being sent to the University of Aberystwyth in Wales
