It's interesting to think about how the landscape may have looked thousands of years ago! Local pollen records suggest a decline in tree cover starting in the bronze age.

Peat cutting used to be done across the Island but was concentrated in a few areas. It was banned in 2020 😊

I didn't unfortunately - if it's still there after the rain I'll have a sniff! I've been told it's likely to be garlic waxcap or bitter waxcap...
