This event was run for the Friends of Gledhow Valley Woods by Leeds City Council Ranger Steve Joul. There was rain before the start of the event so it was great to see more than 20 people attend, including some very keen ones with books and baskets, some from a Leeds University masters degree course, and some enthusiastic children.
There were a lot of fungi to be foraged, and during the two hour event 46 species were identified! Steve's almost legendary knowledge made for a really interesting and informative evening, and great feedback was received from those who attended.
Below are some photos from the event...

Instructions
Click on an image to see a larger version (it should appear in the centre of the screen on a dark background). Whilst viewing a large version, you can move on to the next image using the "Next" button (which appears when you move your mouse cursor over the right-hand side of the image) or by hitting the right-arrow key on your keyboard. Move to a previous image in a similar manner using the "Prev" button (which appears when you move your mouse cursor over the left-hand side of the image) or by hitting the left-arrow key on your keyboard. When you've done viewing the large images, leave by clicking on the "Close" button or by hitting the "Esc" key on your keyboard.
If you can't move between photos it may be because you did not wait until the whole page had finished loading before clicking on an image - just go back to the main page and wait until all the little images have finished appearing. Another possible cause is that JavaScript is unavailable on your web browser for some reason - in this case the larger images will open as single images and you will not be able to use the extra image browsing functions.
