On target

With a target of 1500 species recorded at Cullaloe by the end of the year that meant fiding 200 new species during 2016. Things are well on track before the invertebrates really kick off with 41 new species found so far this year.

The latest additions are two birch leaf fungi Gnomonia alni-viridis and Venturia ditricha (see http://mycomagic.blogspot.co.uk for details!)

Fungi are way out in the lead with 15 new species and an additional 8 lichenised ones
