YNU Mycology

Submitted by alantb on Wed, 05/11/2011 - 12:37

The YNU Mycology Section is in serious decline. Except for the Recorder and Assistant, nobody seems to be interested in this important branch of Natural History. (If it were not for the fungi, there would be no plants!) In the hope that this can be remedied. I know fungi are not easy; to help, I propose to distribute  a news letter AT MY OWN EXPENSE with what I hope to be interesting news, advice and information concerning fungi in Yorkshire.

Peppered Moth and Industrial melanism

Submitted by Colin A. Howes on Fri, 02/04/2011 - 03:02

Thought Geoffrey Fryers piece (magnum opus) on the Peppered Moth and Industrial melanism saga (see The Naturalist (2010) 135: 135-172) was a very refreshing, if uncomfortable re-assessment of this traditionally over simplified and mis-represented phenomenon. A magnificently clear-minded, painstaking and thoughtful study ... well worth a read.

May 1st field meeting: car sharing

Submitted by Joe Botting on Mon, 04/12/2010 - 19:15

I'm wanting to go to the 1st May meeting in the Lower Derwent Valley, but don't drive. Is anyone coming from Huddersfield or Leeds and could give me a lift in exchange for petrol costs and random conversations about bugs, fossils, and whatever else you feel like? Cheers,

Joe
