Replying to @StableGrass
@StableGrass fieldwork today on the western end of the Galtee Mountains in Co. Limerick, surveying semi-natural grassland biodiversity via UAV . A steep climb, but the weather held out for the duration so it was clear with some stunning views!

Found some good indicators for quality grassland in a local sheep field. Yellow club (Clavulinopsis helvola) and butter waxcap ( Hygrocybe ceracea). #GreatIrishGrasslands #waxcapwatch @phoebeob1 @StableGrass

This species is known as the dung deamon (Deconica coprophila) and, true to it's name, it is found growing gregariously on dung and leaf litter on grasslands and pastures. @phoebeob1 @GrasslandsIrl @StableGrass

From the @StableGrass semi-natural #grasslands surveys out on Carrignabinnia, on the #Galty Mountains. Overview 1st, 2nd pic is the #orthomosaic, the Digital Elevation Model (#DEM) 3rd, and 4th showing the level of detail at the releves, with individual blades of grass visible!

This large mushroom is a horse mushroom (Agaricus arvensis), look for a cog- wheel pattern on the stems ring.

While there is indeed beauty in what you can see on the ground, the air also provides a unique perspective on the grassland landscape.
