Major new species - Trichoglossum hirsutum

I am still processing the new species found at the Gwent Fungi Group foray here last week. However the most exciting find has got an id now it - is the Earthtongue Triglossum hirsutum.It is perhaps the big wildlife surprise for 2021 - it's certainly the biggest fungal surprise. Earthtongues are restricted to long established unimproved sites and whilst the assemblage of fungi here already indicates that is the case, an Earthtongue provides another boost to the value of the fields here.
