Wales Branch Annual Fungi Walk
Steve Lucocq (Wales Branch Secretary) and Teifion Davies (Clyne Gardens (retired)) are hosting the Wales Branch Eighth Annual Fungi Walk at Clyne Gardens, Swansea on Sunday 20th September 2026
Clyne Gardens is a botanical garden formed from the landscaped gardens created by Glynn Vivian of the Vivian family who purchased Clyne castle in 1860. The estate passed to his nephew Algernon ‘The Admiral’ in 1921, who owned it until his death in 1952, and he is considered to have had the greatest influence on the gardens as we see them today.
The woodland gardens are now owned by the City and County of Swansea, and Teifion has been working at the gardens since the 1980s. He is familiar with all of the 2500 trees and shrubs on the 19-hectare site, and knows where fungi can generally be found. The site is home to tree species from all around the world, and because of this it is also home to a variety of fungi.
This event has a fee of £15, payable on the day.
