NT19 - Mossmorran

A visit to Mossmorran produced a nice new-to-square duo of species (maybe more. I can't imagine NT19 is the most worked of squares)

Fuscidea lightfootii on Betula and Cladonia ramulosa on rotting Calluna stem/root. Also the delightful "Devil's Matchstick" - come onnnn. It's so cute! Cladonia floerkeana

Bizarrely the first and second records for the species in quick succession, with the first found on a fallen Japanese Larch at Calais Muir Wood, Dunfermline and the second at Cullaloe LNR. There are records close to VC85 but not quite in it. It could be worth keeping an eye out for further east to see just how far inside the county it is. Both these sites are in NT18
