Andrews, Patrick. Agaricus and other Fungi. July 1982 - February 2005 Handwritten records. 1982-2005
Three A4 notepads. Almost 23 years of neat, highly detailed, handwritten records along with detailed pencil and ink sketches mainly, but not exclusively, recording details of mushrooms belonging to the genus Agaricus. Many of the specimens were found in Berkshire in the area to the south-east of Reading around Shinfield, Arborfield, Farley Hill and Swallowfield, but there are also records from further afield - e.g. at Kenfig Burrows Nature Reserve in Wales. Loosely included are a number of letters to Dr. Andrews on matters mycological. A remarkable, unique record.
Dr. Patrick Andrews was a keen and committed amateur mycologist and member of the British Mycological Society who had a wide correspondence including with acknowledged specialists in the field.
