| Area | The Forest of Dean and surrounding area between the Severn and the Wye. |
| Details | The purpose of the Dean Fungus Group (DFG) is to find, identify and record the fungi of the Forest of Dean, to promote a greater understanding of the importance of fungi in Nature, and to encourage their conservation. The DFG is affiliated to the British Mycological Society and the Fungus Conservation Trust. |
| Access | The Forest of Dean is a great area for finding fungi, due to the variety of environments – broadleaf, conifer and mixed woodland, areas of grassland, marshland and old industrial sites. Most areas are Forestry Commission Land with open access; a few are nature reserves with restrictions for dogs. |
