North Kerry Waxcap Survey 2012 - the Northern Ireland Fungus Group

Sites marked in colour have been surveyed in the six recent surveys funded by the Heritage
Council. Glennahoo, the best site in this survey is the only site that makes it onto this list at
number 32.
Map 3 shows the number of waxcap per 10km square in Ireland. While a comprehensive
survey was run in Northern Ireland between 2002 and 2004, the data for the Republic is
obviously more sparse and each 10km is often not surveyed so often as in Northern Ireland
but a picture is building up and it is hoped that maps like this will encourage and target more
recording.
