Last winter the Glamorgan Fungi Group put a call out to members to look for some poorly recorded species of fungi. One of the species to look for is a very small mushroom Marasmius hudsonii, or Holly Parachute. Despite looking through countless fallen leaves of Holly, I never found a single specimen. Other found several, proving the species was under recorded, with our own Mark Evans finding several, and I think Mr Bevan found one, in the Cynon Valley.
Forward a year and with others finding more Holly Parachutes, I've been looking hard. That looking finally came to fruition today with a single fruiting body found.
