In common with much of eastern Rhonnda Cynon Taff, tetrad ST08U is very under-recorded (just 21 taxa according to Barry's most recent map) despite having considerable potential. Yesterday's Glamorgan Fungus Group outing to the Nant Gelliwion Woodland SSSI gave me the chance to add around 45 species, which were jotted down as a distraction from the fungal fun.
In truth we barely reached the SSSI as there was much to see on the approaches from Maritime Industrial Estate, though the little bit of it we did see looked very promising (photo above). A rotten log was covered in Nowellia (photo below). I'll definitely be returning for a proper look.
On returning to the Industrial Estate, there was rather a nice patch of Calliergonella lindbergii on tarmac.
Well done George - there's probably sufficient new data tp justify another map update, which i'll do shortly.

ReplyDeleteHmmm I'd better catch up with some data entry...
