Notes and Records (Oct 2000)

Describes ongoing work in Scotland on Tooth Fungi and Waxcap grasslands, and in Northern Ireland on fungi associated with Mountain Avens (Dryas octopetala). Fungi associated with Common Rockrose (Helianthemum nummularium) are also mentioned.

Points out that amateur specialists continue to find new British records even in comparatively well-worked goups.
