Pepper Pot Earthstar was thought to be extinct in the UK (there have been no Norfolk records since 1880!) but the species was found in Suffolk again in 2006. The site has remained a closely-guarded secret ever since but I was told about it in the strictest confidence this week and popped along yesterday.
And I located 7 specimens albeit most had gone past their best. Looking at the site you do have to wonder if any others lurk undiscovered on a hedge bank somewhere.
As I was told about them in confidence I’m afraid I won’t be giving the location away.
