So the first (well, why not be optimistic?) "new for Scotland" species of the year emerged last night under the lens. While wrestling with a Catops species (I reckon fuliginosus but not certain) I noticed its nether regions were somewhat decorated with one of my favourite groups of things in the natural world - the Laboulbeniomycetes
Turns out to be Asaphomyces tubanticus, which is pretty host specific, to genus at least. Ain't it pretty?
