Fungi Foray: Exploring Nature and History at the GWR Quarry Conservation Site – Sunday 13 October 2024 2:00pm – 4:00pm

Location: Carmarthen Park and Ride, 747 Llysonnen Rd, Carmarthen SA33 5DR

Event details: Join our Local East Carmarthenshire Local Group and Bruce Langridge at a former GWR quarry with an interesting history, now a conservation project. With over 200 fungi identified over the past 12 years let’s see what we can find this year. It’s been wet all summer on the site so wellies or good boots will be essential.

Please note – this is NOT an event for food foragers. Collecting fungal fruiting bodies can have a significant effect on fungal populations as it prevents them from reproducing. Attendees must NOT collect any mushrooms or other fruiting bodies either during or after the event.

Meet at the old ‘park and ride’ carpark just off the westbound A40 for the showground. SA313SA is the nearest post code that takes you to the Carmarthenshire Vets, just drive a little further past the vets and the carpark is on the left. A short walk from there into the site.
