Fungi 2023 - Starting with dessert

This year, as noted, was a good year for plants, but fungi languished, albeit in a relatively high position. Next year I'll aim to push fungi much closer to 1k, but since I'm an impatient kind of guy I thought I'd get going while the getting's good. I plan to make 2k records of 500+ species in NT18 (as per 2022's failed-but-still-successful vascular challenge). I don't see any reason to stick to arbitrary delimiters, so I'll have 14 months at it.

I already recorded several new species in Dalgety Bay and Cullaloe LNR.

Also, full disclosure, somebody casually mentioned that Fife was pretty poorly recorded. Hold my jacket... so this effort is partly dedicated to Dick Peebles of the Weegie fungus group.

Let's start with dessert - Plums & Custard (Tricholomopsis rutilans) from Cullaloe Hills. What a lovely thing.
