On Saturday18th October 2025 the Hyndburn’s Woodlands project hosted a ‘Fungi Foray Walk’ at Whinney Hill woodland! It was a lovely autumnal morning, with clean (and dry) crisp air!

Attendees took a gentle walk through the woodland, keeping their eyes peeled for fungi hidden in the overgrowth. Overall, we managed to find and record 18 species of fungi. We did actually find quite a bit more but unfortunately could not identify the rest with any confidence

Everyone had a lovely morning and learnt loads of information, thank you to everyone who attended the walk!

As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible!
