Data List (2006) Extinct<br />

Grassland fungi are a particularly attractive group that are very threatened all over Europe due<br />

to habitat loss. <strong>Ireland</strong>, along with Great Britain, is one of <strong>the</strong> best areas in <strong>the</strong> world for <strong>the</strong>se<br />

fungi and <strong>the</strong>re are few species groups that we can actually say that for. Two sites (Glennahoo<br />

and Lough Adoon) would qualify for consideration for national site designation under UK SSSI<br />

guidelines (Genney et al., 2009) but <strong>the</strong> poor fungal fruiting during this survey means that a<br />

targeted repeat survey would be useful to get a better picture of <strong>the</strong> status of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Kerry</strong><br />

grassland fungi sites. The Blaskets should be surveyed at <strong>the</strong> correct time of year. However,<br />

site protection could be considered for <strong>the</strong>se two sites and it is my hope that <strong>the</strong>se surveys will<br />

raise <strong>the</strong> profile of this beautiful group by providing <strong>the</strong> data and <strong>the</strong> context to make <strong>the</strong>se<br />

decisions.
