Macrotyphula fistulosa var. fistulosa (Holmsk.) R.H. Petersen<br />
A remarkable fungus, like a long needle over 10cm long. It is commonly recorded both in Great<br />
Britain and <strong>North</strong>ern <strong>Ireland</strong> (33 records) but, quite amazingly, this is only <strong>the</strong> third record for<br />
<strong>the</strong> Republic of <strong>Ireland</strong>. The only o<strong>the</strong>r records are from 1910 by Carleton Rea and Henry<br />
Hawley from Achill Island and Belclare Woods in West Mayo. The o<strong>the</strong>r variety, var, contorta,<br />
is also rarely recorded with <strong>the</strong> only modern record being from Jenny Seawright at Muckros<br />
Woods in Killarney in 2009 (see http://www.irishlichens.ie/pages-fungi/f-50.html). This species<br />
has to be under-recorded. Found at <strong>the</strong> Sacred Heart Church in Annascaul at Q597019 on<br />
31/10/<strong>2012</strong>.<br />
