Still no sign of any Waxcaps yet and perhaps the very dry summer will of had a major negative effect on them.

Great moth total Pete given your lack of a moth trap. Still really dry here so fungi suffering at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThe moth total is much better than I expected but it is all due to me properly checking the area around the four security lights each morning unlike last year.
DeleteNice going, Pete. You're going to make it with plenty headroom :)
