Great find, so they do exist outside the south east, a friend of mine found a huge patch in East Sussex recently and I was v jealous. Never seen any in my part of Warwickshire …

I’m going to go to the site today to collect a sample. You might be right, but to me it looks very much like the Neobulgaria photo in Collins (Sterry & Hughes) another one from the same site as the Xylaria cinerea where I had no room left in the box!

Try your local church yards. They can be a very good location for species that favour low fertility grasslands such as Hygrocybe, earth tongues and even Ramaria species. Obviously it’s best to stay away from fresh graves and show sensitivity to visitors. 😯

We see this fairly frequently in Glamorgan VC41 including in graveyards but also unimproved pasture. One of our members recently found about 12 together – I think they were in a Cardiff city cemetery
