A rare blue-based earthtongue fungus, Microglossum cyanobasis, has been discovered in Englands Kingley Vale national nature reserve, marking the first UK sighting and second European sighting. Discovered by amateur fungi enthusiast Liz Frost, this tiny fungus thrives in undisturbed, nutrient-poor soils, highlighting the ecological value of Englands national nature reserves. The discovery underscores the importance of protecting these reserves from farming changes and drainage, as underground fungal networks need strong protection to thrive.
