Violet webcap (Cortinarius violaceus) growing under gorse today near the Devil’s Punchbowl in Surrey. An absolute stunner of a mushroom and nationally rare - it’s always good to see these beauties.

Ireland is nothing but a laggard and a hypocrite when it comes to environmental and ecological protections.

It was surely possible to survey the approximate point below which the fish were killed and to record unaffected fish above that point. Local anglers will know this to the 10's of metres👍

The National Parks and Wildlife Service today completed the safe control and removal of the first Asian hornet nest from a site in Cork city. It has now been transported to Dublin and handed over to scientists at the National Museum of Ireland for analysis.
