I don't always have to hold things still in the wind to get a photo but it was definitely the breezy Burren today! Filipendula vulgaris (Dropwort)

Great day @bbsbryology.bsky.social outing exploring a woodland just outside of Maigh cuilinn on the weekend.

I was quite excited by this today – it seems to be the second global record of a Peronospora on Potentilla erecta. Peronospora potentillae-reptantis is known from some related species. #FungiFriends

Some time exploring uplands the last few days has brought some tiny tiny delights; Bistorta vivipara (Alpine bistort) known from just 4 hectads in Ireland, it enjoys an altitude of around 660m at this location. Very much the quiet and inconspicuous type- my favorite 🌿

Delighted to find Epipactus atrorubens (Dark red helleborine) in the Burren last Sunday, one I'd been hoping to see for a while. Epipactus palustris (Marsh helleborine) also made a surprise appearance when out at work last week 🌸 @bsbibotany #wildflowerhour

An unbelievably small bucket lister; Botrychium lunaria (Moonwort) The books tell me they should be between 3-8cm, my eyes tell me they're between tiny and minute! 🌿

I am starting a PhD and am looking for grassland restoration/rewilding sites in Northern Ireland! Please forward this flier to anyone who might be interested in having their land surveyed for fungi!

A day out with the fritillaries. I don't think I've ever managed to see them in May before- almost certainly more related to recorder effort than phenology! Marsh Fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia) 🦋

My first time seeing Trichocolea tomentella (Handsome Woollywort) at the weekend. Unbelievably fluffy under the hand lens, and totally deserving of the name 📷
