Would you like a local who spent almost 40 years living in the Lymington/Brockenhurst area to join you
Can act as a local guide to many local hotspots (fungus that is). In November there is a high probability of plenty of Hedgehog fungus (hydnum repandum for Latin and Pied de Mouton for French speakers) about, along with the potential for some oyster mushrooms. Everyone could enjoy some, eat over a campfire and still have a bag load each to take home. Most of the boletus will have finished by then although there may be some slippery jacks about. However, most of this will depend on when the first frosts hit.
