Earth Tongues are an important feature of fungally rich lawns & grasslands. Geoglossum fallax, while not uncommon or rare is still not often met with in Notts. This is a 3rd county record. The various and several species are not easy to sort, partly because identification relies on the rate of spores turning from hyaline or transparent through to brown; and also the degree of septation or actual number of septa. These can overlap in some species and be variable in others.
