Since 2020, Manley Knoll has been the site of a major fungi survey, led by mycologist Attila Fodi. This ongoing study has identified over 200 species, including one previously undocumented in England. The survey aims to aid conservation efforts and highlight fungi’s vital role in biodiversity.

This project has united professional mycologists and amateur enthusiasts, fostering a deeper appreciation for Manley Knoll’s natural environment. Groundsman Tom Saxon describes it as an exciting journey of discovery, revealing an unseen world beneath our feet.
