WHITLINGHAM: Harvestmen and fungi

Late November 2022

Earlier in the month Vanna Bartlett had found some interesting harvestmen at Whitlingham, and she kindly offered to help me look for them. It was raining steadily as I picked her and Jeremy up, but by the end of our visit the rain had almost stopped. Despite the damp conditions we did see fout species of harvestman, including two that were new for me - Oligolophus tridens and Lophopilio palpinalis. We saw a nice selection of fungi too, including Goldleaf Shield and Olive Salver (Catinella olivacea). Striped Millipede was another new one for me.
