The Pilgrim's Trail ascends from <strong>the</strong> farm at Mullaghveal to <strong>the</strong> pass overlooking Glin <strong>North</strong> . <strong>Waxcap</strong> interest was<br />
patchy in <strong>the</strong> fields on ei<strong>the</strong>r side of <strong>the</strong> trail by <strong>the</strong> farm and non-existant in <strong>the</strong> grassy stream sides higher up. The<br />
rest of <strong>the</strong> ground is too acidic and boggy for any interest.<br />

This square contains some of <strong>the</strong> best arctic alpine higher plants and lichens in <strong>Ireland</strong> but is not conducive to fungal arctic<br />
alpine species being very wet. Some of <strong>the</strong> fields above Ballinknockane e.g. around Q 448112 would be worth visiting.<br />

We hiked from <strong>the</strong> car park at Q433124 up to patches of grassland on <strong>the</strong> cliff edge of Beennaman but all <strong>the</strong><br />
waxcaps were found at <strong>the</strong> edge of <strong>the</strong> stream alongside <strong>the</strong> carpark. This may have a few more species but will not<br />
be a significant site.<br />
