Itinerary 19 September, Thursday Day 1 We all met up at Warsaw Chopin airport and after being taken care of by Bogdan, who skilfully loaded our luggage into his minibus, we drove off. The journey took us first through the outskirts of Warsaw, and then through rolling agricultural fields, interspersed with small villages and towns with their shrines and domineering churches. We had a lunch break at a nice roadside Karchma, where we stimulated our palates with mushroom soup (what else!) and tasty sauerkraut and port dumplings (pierogi). En route, as we headed east, woods became a more common feature. Here, maybe not surprisingly, we passed local people standing by the side of the road and offering baskets of mushrooms for sale. This looked promising! Just before we entered the Bialowieża Forest, we stopped at Hajnόwka to get supplies of drinks for the trip and Bernhard s favourite chocolate plums (śliwki w czekoladzie!). We arrived at Gawra, a comfortable guest house conveniently situated on the outskirts of the Bialowieza National Park, in late afternoon. When we got out of the vehicle, we all got excited by the masses of Sulphur Turft Hypholoma fasiculare and Brick Tuft Hypholoma sublateritium growing in profusion in front of the lodge. After distributing ourselves to rooms and a short rest, we all gathered again at 19:30 for an evening meal. We had tomato and macaroni soup for starter, followed by pork cutlet for main course and finished off with fruit mousse. Krupnik, a traditional honey and vodka based liquor was welcomed by everybody, but Tom took a particular like for Polish cherry vodka. Merry and content we departed to bed. 20 September, Friday Day 2 We woke up to lashing rain and, what s more, there was no hope for the weather to improve throughout the day. So, after a leisurely and hearty breakfast at 8:00 am (a selection of cheese, ham, boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, gherkins, pate and scrambled eggs), we ventured outside. Our guide, Arek, took us to a nearby reserve. We entered the forest on a slightly dilapidated boardwalk and it was difficult to keep going on the slippery surface. Ear Pick Fungus Auriscalpium vulgare, growing classically out of pine cones and bright False Saffron Milcap Lactarius deterrimus drew our attention right from the start. Anise Mazegill Gloeophyllum odoratum on a big tree trunk got Gordon particularly excited, because he had never seen it before. The Velvet Shield Pluteus umbrosus had an intricate comb web pattern on top. The Steccherinum ochraceum, with spiny spore surface was another interesting species. It is rare in Britain so, not surprisingly, none of the group members, except Bernhard, who identified it in the first place, had seen it before. 2

The Peeling Oysterling Crepidotus mollis, with a peelabale cap cuticle and stalk off the centre, got us giggling, when Tom shouted with excitement: going, going gone! As we spread out, Tom seemed to disappear and Arek and myself had to trace our steps back and look for him. However, despite shouting and whistling, there was no sign of Tom. He eventually turned up with a handful of new species of fungi, totally oblivious of a rescue operation conducted in his name. He later admitted that time collapsed for him and he got semi-lost! The excitement had no end, since we kept finding new species. Tom found Fenugreek Stalkball Phleogena fagina and we all tried to photograph this intriguing miniature fungi. Elsewhere, under a big oak, Bernhard found the Shaggy Scalycap Pholiota squarrosa, growing in a big clump. As the rain intensified and we began to feel the damp and cold, it was time to turn back for lunch. Just as we reached the minibus, warm tea and a compulsory chocolate plum rewarded our efforts. On arrival at the lodge, a warm welcoming fire awaited us in the sitting area. Soon, we gathered together to go to a nearby restaurant for lunch. The restaurant was full, so I was pleased to have booked a table in advance. We had a hearty white borshch (barszcz), followed by a gorgeous smoked duck salad and finished off with coffee and tea. It was still wet and rather miserable outside, so collectively we decided that the best thing would be to hide away somewhere cosy and warm for the afternoon. First, we spent over an hour looking at the fungi that we collected on the morning walk and attempted their identification. At 15:30, we decided to visit Bialowieża Natural History museum. We had enough time to look at the art and history exhibition and climb the tower, where a splendid view stretched over the Bialowieża village and the surrounding forest, before following an audiovisual presentation at the museum. We all thought that the museum was very well laid out with a good display of wildlife as well as geological, ethnographic and geographical artefacts. As we left the building, we briefly spread out on the park s grounds, where new species of fungi were found. The biggest excitement was generated (at least for Tom) by the Beefsteak Fungus Fistulina hepatica, exuding blood-like droplets of moisture. On return to the lodge, we found Poisonpie Hebeloma crustuliniforme. The rest of the afternoon was spent on attempting to identify the fungi collected in the morning. So far, 14 fungi were identified, but a further 20 remained to be dealt with. 3

The burning log fire created a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. We tried a Bialowieża berry tea purchased locally, but the package looked better than it tasted. Tom shared with us his white Krupnik, which was followed by a cocktail, a mixture of Bizon vodka, apple juice and lemon. Feeling rather jolly, we were ready to indulge in a good meal. Our dinner tonight consisted of celery soup with croutons, followed by a traditional Polish schabowy (snitzel type cutlet) and szarlotka (apple cake). U-tube, once again, proved to be popular and classical music accompanied our meal. Celery soup with a background of classical music sent Tom to heaven! A request for Polish folk music interrupted Tom s pleasures and soon we were watching Bernhard s selection of fungi and forest pictures. Altogether 57 species of fungi were recorded today with the following highlights: for Bernhard, it was Philotopsis nidulans, for Gordon and Rhona, it was Gloeophyllum Odoratum, for Tom Beefsteak Fungus Fistulina hepatica and for myself Crepidotus mollis. 21 September, Saturday Day 3 We had our breakfast at a comfortable 8:00 am. The day was cloudy, but there was hope in the air. Today, we aimed to explore the Strict Nature Reserve in the Bialowieża National Park and after being dropped by Bogdan, we walked towards the reserve, where Arek soon caught up with us on his bike. The big wooden gate welcomed us at the entrance to the reserve. For a while, we admired this colossal gate that was built in 1930. Our walk progressed slowly because, right at the entrance, we were overwhelmed by the profusion of fungi. Birch Webcap Cortinarius trumphans and Peppery Milkcap Lactarius piperatu were more familiar species. The Sheathed Woodtuft Pholiota mutabilis brought a smile to Bernhard s face, because it was one of his favourite fungi and easily mistaken for the deadly poisonous Funeral Bell Galerina marginata. As we walked deeper into this amazing forest, other species started to enrich our list, and these included Yellowleg Bonnet Mycena epipterygia, Yellowing Curtain Crust Stereum sobtometosum and Bleeding Cornifer Crust Stereum sanguinolentum. Soon, we came across a very photogenic clump of Puffball Lycoperdon pyriforme and tried to photograph the spores exploding from the ball, but only Tom was successful in capturing the motion. Arek and I left the group at some point and went to photograph Yellow Brain Tremella mesenterica. Arek was not sure if the group would be interested in seeing it, but on showing the picture to the group, the verdict was: YES PLEASE! However, there was no turning back for us at this stage, so we marched on, leaving a visit to the part of the reserve with the Yellow Brain for the afternoon. 4

Other species encountered this morning and worth mentioning are Black Bulgar Bulgaria inquinan and a rare Pink Hoof-polypore Fomitopsis rosea. Gordon was not sure if the species was even recorded in the UK. The Hairy Curtain Crust Stereum hirsute, growing in profusion on a dead trunk, was our last highlight of the walk, before leaving the reserve for lunch. We then returned to the minibus, where Bogdan shocked us all by producing an enormous Brown Birch Bolete Laccinum scabrum. On return to the lodge, we had only five minutes to spare and off we went to our restaurant. For lunch, we had potato pancakes with a mushroom sauce (and a great debate to identify the species involved) and a delicious traditional layered cake. There was no time to spare though and we proceeded straight to the fungi exhibition held at the Education Centre of the Bialowieża National Park. The exhibition impressed us all and with about 300 species of fungi, all beautifully displayed and individually labelled, we were entertained for a good hour. Tom, in particular, did not hide his enchantment with Macrolepiota, which were well represented at the exhibition. We also met Karol here, who was to accompany us on our fungi quest tomorrow. The afternoon was spent again in the strict nature reserve with Arek, where a number of new species were added to our list. These included Smoky Bracket Bjerkandera adusta, a smelly Stinkhorn Phallus impudicus, Red-belted Bracket Formitopsis pinicola and the very yellow Flowers of Tan Fuligo septica. The Deer Shield Pluteus cervinus looked particularly attractive with a small fly on its rim and Bernhard persevered to capture the moment (so did I). Whereas, the yellow cone-like Golden Scalycap Pholiota aurivella got Tom excited again. Later on, the Shaggy Scalycap Pholiota squarrosa found by Tom at the bottom of a big trunk (photo by Tom) generated some confusion as to its identification. Tom described his beauty as the caramel cream with coconut flakes on the top. Then, the miniature orange and brown balls of the Wolf's Milk Lycogala terrestre, were admired by us all. The best though was the small cup fungus Green Elfcup Chlorociboria aeruginascen, found by Gordon. Some small microscopic fungi that we encountered from time to time were ignored by us and even Gordon admitted, I do not like white washes. Tom though answered cheekily, You never know 5

what they might turn into. Then, everybody got attracted by a pink Wrinkled Peach Rhodotus palmatus shown to us by Arek. In Britain, due to decreasing Elm population, this species is becoming a pretty rare sight. We took some kind-of shot-cut, going off the track, and soon we were looking at the beautiful Giant Polypore Meripilus giganteus, and later, an enormous Chicken of the Woods Laetiporus sulphurous was admired by us. Just as the sun was setting in between the canopy of the retiring forest, we saw Spitgill Schizophyllum commune, which, with its hairy surface and forked gills, looked particularly attractive. Soon after, we came across an equally eye-catching Blue Roundhead Stropharia caerulea. As the day was coming to a close, it was time to leave the forest. We made a rather speedy return as the daylight was diminishing fast, and it was here, that a Wild Boar with 5-6 piglets crossed our path in front of us. A calling female Tawny Owl and Pygmy Owl added to the spectacular atmosphere of this ancient forest. We could not have asked for a better end to this fabulous day. In the course of the day, we also encountered a Whitebacked Woodpecker and Raven in the reserve. We gathered again at 19:00 and walked to a nearby restaurant. Tonight, we had herring pickled with mushrooms for a starter, a Wild Boar steak with dumplings and beetroots for main course, and finished off with a traditional Polish cheesecake. On the return to the lodge, we indulged in some stronger drinks while finishing off our daily log. Altogether, we saw today 101 species of fungi, which brought our overall list to 158 species. Fungi of the day: Rhodotus palmatus for Gordon and Rhona, Formitopsis rosea for Bernhard, Pholiota squarrosa for Tom and Chlorociboria aeruginascens for myself. 22 September, Sunday Day 4 After a lovely breakfast at 8:00, we met Karol an hour later and we all went to the managed part of Bialowieża Forest. The forest here was more open and not as old as in the reserve. Nonetheless, there were plenty of fungi to entertain us. 6

As usual, we moved slowly, because all sorts of fungi beauties kept drawing our attention. As soon as entered the forest, we found Bleeding Beefsteak Fistulina hepatica (photo by Tom). Although this species was seen on the previous days, the specimen encountered today was the most attractive of them all. The thread-like Slender Club Macrotyphula juncea and, later, Pipe Club Macrophytula fistulosa, found by Gordon, were the most intriguing species at the beginning of the walk. Similarly, Dead Man s Fingers Xylaria polymorpha and Dead Moll s Fingers Xylaria longipes attracted our attention for a while. Jelly-like fungus, White Brain Exidia thuretiana, Witche s Butter Exidia gladulosa and leathery Hare s Ear Otidea onotica were very distinctive and quickly identified. Soon, Karol found for us the most striking deep red webcap, Blood Red Web Cap Cortinarius sanguineus, and then one of the most poisonous mushrooms, Deathcap Amanita phalloides. The clump of the Jelly Rot Merulius tremellosus, with its rubbery gelatinous texture, was pretty spectacular. Tom, on the other hand, found an interesting natural phenomena, a small fungus growing through the cap of the False Deathcap Amanita citrina. Other species that were encountered and worth mentioning included Yellow Curtain Crust Stereum subtomentosum, Plicatura crispa and Lactarius acerrimus. The slime moulds, once thought of as bizarre fungi, also amused us for a while. These included Lycogala terrestre and Trichia decipiens, orangey balls found on dead wood. The Red-belted Bracket Formitopsis pinicola was particularly abundant and with the droplets of water on them, they became an immediate hit as photography subjects. Tom got excited by an enormous Artist s Bracket Ganoderma applanatum and soon Crested Coral Clavulina coralloides was admired by us all. But perhaps most attention was paid to the Common Bird s Nest fungus Crucibulum laeve found by Bernhard on dead wood. 7

Our walk finished at the car park of the animal enclosures at the reserve, where some stalls offered local craft for sale. Rhona and I bought a few pockets of spices gathered in the reserve and off we left for the lodge. En route, we stopped to let Karol off and presented him with a bottle of whisky to thank him for all the time he spent with us this morning. Lunch was once again at the local restaurant, where we had a fantastic venison Carpaccio with some tasty seeds and a green salad with cheese. Soon after lunch we went off again in the company of Arek. This time, we aimed for the northern part of the Bialowieża Forest, where beavers abound. As we drove through small villages and passed by cultivated fields, we unexpectedly came across a single Bizon browsing in a field. Bizons thrive in the Bialowieza Forest at present, with over 300 individuals. Some of them venture outside the forest where grassland is widely available and seeing them in the open is not uncommon. We stood there for a while and observed a couple who walked towards the animal, but quickly were spooked by its sudden movement. Tom bravely followed their footsteps, but was promptly turned back by watchful Arek (and myself), who promised to find the way where we could view it from a close distance but in the safety of our minibus. This, however, proved to be an impossible mission. On arrival at the forest, a nice specimen of Cortinarius purpurascens was spotted. We undertook a slow walk along and off the track, which led us to a bridge, where a great view stretched over the forest damaged by beavers. The bare trunks of dead trees stuck out of the water and looked almost surreal. The rutting deer in the distance added to the spooky atmosphere of the place. Here, to Rhona s delight, a Shaggy Parasol Macrolepiota rhacodes was spotted as well as the most photogenic Purplepore Bracket Trichaptum abietinum. We continued along the water s edge where signs of beaver activities were visible, including huge abandoned beaver s lodge. We added a few species to the list, but soon it was time to turn back. On the way back, we found a gorgeous Brown Birch Bolete Laccinum scabrum. However, as soon as we reached the car, Bogdan showed us a full bag of them and Orange Birch Bolete Leccinum versipelle, which he collected while waiting for us. We were all envious. It started to drizzle, so it was time to call it a day. We arrived at the lodge in time to refresh and soon it was time to gather again for our last meal. It was again, nice and cosy by the fire. Tonight, we had mushroom soup for the starter, chicken in pineapple sauce for the main course, followed by a selection of cakes: cheese, apple and plum. We spent the rest of the evening identifying the specimen collected earlier throughout the day, while finishing off our selection of vodkas: Krupnik, Żubrówka and Cherry flavoured vodkas. Rhona made meticulous drawings of some fungi, depicting their characteristic features in her notebook to the great admiration from us all. 8

Fungi of the day: Ossicaulis ligniatilis for Rhona, Otidia onotica for Gordon and Fistulina hepatica for Bernhard and myself. Altogether, we recorded 179 species of fungi on the trip. 23 September, Monday Day 5 We had a leisurely breakfast and soon after we were on our way to the airport in Warsaw. The journey once again took us mainly through quiet countryside, until we hit the outskirts of Warsaw. Here, we encountered an unexpected traffic, but Bogdan took a few shortcuts here and there, and we arrived at the airport on time. There was very little time to say good-bye and soon we all parted: Gordon, Rhona, Bernhard and Tom caught up the plane back home, whereas I stayed another day in Warsaw. Bozena: Thank you all for a great trip! Twelve-boar blues in Bialowieża by Tom Kirby On sky of palimpsest, the sun marks out a lower arc of light as days erased fold into crowns of silhouetted fractal fronds. Grey smoking Wraiths, damp Autumn s breath, enwrap the forest firm and tight. Like widow s rags of summer dead, black ravens croak and life responds. A shiver tics along his flanks but holding still the boar inhales to test the drift of cooling air. He knows his spoor will slip behind when gentlest breeze blows in his eyes; in dimming light his vision fails as atavistic senses rise to form a picture...clear, defined. And here I stalk, on leaf-deep trail with cracking twigs and oozing loam. I emanate the stench of man, my stifled breath a whistling blast. Each foot fall on the drum-skin floor leaves signs of where I chose to roam; my scent I paint on branch and stone, on briar thorn and bison grass. This shotgun carried by my side will not this day be called to kill for he has gone to where the air is his alone, and time lies still. 9
