The British Mycological Society has a history of recording on various islands around the Scottish coast. This will be the first visit to Bute. Although a relatively small island, Bute has a rich mosaic of habitats, which include: coastal and marine habitats, grassland habitats, riparian habitats, heathland and peatland, broadleaved woodland and scrub woodland, coniferous plantations and mixed woodlands. Over half of the woodlands are designated ancient woodlands. It is believed that very little information exists on the mycological mycota of the island.  Based in Rothesay, on the seafront  we have booked the Bute backpackers Hostel.  Rooms will be shared and catering will be done on the same basis as our recent trip to Pencaitland. Those that went will remember the superb cooking done by Dave Jefferies, he  has kindly offered his catering service again
