Dermoloma Update - new species

I have recorded two species of Dermoloma here - the relatively common Crazed Cap and the less common Dark Crazed Cap. The eDNA survey however caught an even less common Dermoloma - Black Magic (Dermaloma magicum). Dermolomas are the D in CHEGD so are an important indicator of unimproved grassland. Old photo of a Crazed Cap as I don't have a photo of something found by DNA survey.
