Summary 

This is the first study of its kind in Dublin parks. The sites were selected as they have 

been stable areas of woodland and parkland with contrasting geology and management 

history. It was considered that these sites would be among the richest in Fingal for fungi. 

237 different species of Fungi were recorded in the course of the survey between August 

and October 2006. 64 of these species were new records for County Dublin. The 

methodology was traditional - based on finding sound, mature species in the field and 

then confirming species names in the laboratory simply by optical and taxonomic means. 

European literature and keys to Genera were consulted. No molecular methods were 

utilised. Lichens, symbiotic relationships between fungi and algae or fungi with 

cyanobacteria, were also recorded in the course this study but were not the main focus. 

This study will hopefully inform, at a basic level, on the distribution of fungal species in 

the Fingal area. Data on associated habitats and vascular plant associations has been kept 

with fungal species records and six-figure grid references to provide context. In time, the 

work may be cross-referenced with studies on other biological groups made around this 

time also, to perhaps address questions, for example fungi as food for squirrels here. 

It is obvious from our results that we are merely commencing to understand the fungal 

diversity in the Fingal area. Modern techniques and regular surveying in Spring and 

Autumn will help to give a clearer picture of fungi in Fingal into the future.

Chapter 1 Introduction 

1.1 The Countryside Survey in Fingal 

In 2004, Fingal County Council initiated the Ecological Study of the Countryside 

Habitats in Fingal. This study covers habitats such as rivers & wetlands, woodlands, 

hedgerows, demesnes and farmland and generally focuses on birds, mammals, flora but 

also includes fungi and invertebrates. The results from the Countryside Study will be 

used for the preparation of the Biodiversity Action Plans for the countryside habitats and 

species. 

Phase III covers the flora and fauna of the 16 woodland sites in Fingal. Most of these 

woodlands are part of, or were once part of demesnes, and were planted within the last 

150 years. The woodland fauna survey covers birds and mammals, while the flora survey 

deals with higher plants, trees and fungi. Together these data will provide the County 

Council with good baseline assessments of the flora and fauna of the Fingal woodlands. 

This will help to set out future woodland development and management strategies. 

Fungi play a vital role in woodlands. Many are saprotrophs, living on dead organic matter 

such as leaf litter and have an important role in re-cycling. Others form symbiotic 

associations with trees and other plants (mycorrhizal fungi) which extend the plant root 

system assisting in the uptake of water and nutrients. Over 90% of plants have a fungus 

associated with their roots and many would not survive without their fungal partner. It 

has also been estimated that over 1000 species of insects and other creatures in the UK 

alone are dependent on fungi for food and shelter. Given the important role fungi play in 

the woodland ecosystem, it is important to find out which species occur within the 

woodlands in Fingal. 

1.2 Objectives of the Fungi survey 

The objectives of the Fungi survey are to: 

1. Establish which fungal species can be found in the four woodland sites 

2. Establish the conservation status of the fungi present 

3. Establish importance of woodland sites in Fingal for fungi compared to woodland 

sites elsewhere in Ireland 

4. Make recommendations to enhance the Fingal woodlands for fungi and present 

potential actions for the Local Biodiversity Action Plan

1.3 The Survey Sites 

Four sites were selected as likely to be relatively rich in fungi based on their histories and 

woodland compositions. These were Ardgillan Demesne, Howth Demesne, Newbridge 

House Demesne and St. Catherine’s Park. Here is a brief introduction to each of the sites. 

1.3.1 Ardgillan Demesne 

View of Ardgillan Castle with shadow of the Mourne Moutains in the distance 

Ardgillan Demesne was carved from the ancient townlands of Kilmainham, Ardgillan 

and Baltray. The name Ardgillan derives from ‘Ard Choill’ High Wood. The wood itself 

was initially cut after the Down Survey was completed in the latter half of the 

seventeenth century. The land had been controlled by the O’Casey clan and later by the 

Earl of Tyrconnell. However, much change was to take place in the seventeenth century 

in Irish land ownership and land use patterns. 

Thomas Taylor came to Ireland in 1653 as part of the ‘Down Survey’ team selected to aid 

Dr. William Petty. Taylor ended up buying 20,000 acres in Ireland after the Cromwellian 

confiscation and reassignment of Irish land took place. Ardgillan Castle was built by 

Thomas Taylor’s grandson, Reverend Robert Taylor, in 1738. The property stayed in the 

Taylor family until 1962. After a brief time under the ownership of Heinrich Potts of 

Westphalia, Ardgillan was purchased for the Irish State in 1982 by Dublin County 

Council (now Fingal County Council). The land ownership history for Ardgillan demesne 

has been stable for the last three centuries and this has been helpful in the maintenance of 

an area’s biodiversity. 

Ardgillan Demesne slopes down to the Irish Sea with a coastal train line in between. The 

site contains a long avenue of established Beech, Ash and Sweet Chestnut. There are 

several large lawns, with few parkland trees. Woodland is mainly of Beech, Sycamore 

and Ash with Elder. Ivy cover is extensive in woodlands, both on the ground and on 

trees. Ardgillan is now an 82 ha area of woodland, parkland and gardens, including a 

walled garden of 2 acres, a rose garden and a Potentilla garden. The avenue is not within 

the current boundary of the grounds. It is suggested that the avenue be included in the 

managed area as it is relatively rich in fungi. 

7


There has been no published information on the fungi of Ardgillan Demesne. It is also the 

first time Ardgillan has been surveyed for fungi or for lichens. Ardgillan Castle has 

probably been the most stable site with regard to land ownership compared to other sites 

in the survey. For its size and lack of large wooded area, Ardgillan has some good fungi. 

Staff interest has helped to maintain fungal diversity. 

1.3.2 Howth Demesne 

Overview of Howth Demesne and Harbour from Muck Rock 

Howth Castle and its associated lands have had a long history. The founder of the Howth 

family was Sir Armoricus Tristram in 1177. The 20 th Lord of Howth built the castle 

which is part of the main castle building today. 

A portal tomb or cromlech at the base of Muck Rock, or Carrickmore cliff, is said to be 

the tomb of Aedeen, daughter of Aengus of Ben Edar. Aedeen is said to have died around 

284 AD. Sir Samuel Ferguson (1810-1886) conjured an image of Aedeen’s burial in his 

poem ‘The Cromlech on Howth’ 

‘….In a queenly grave we leave her 

Among the fields of fern 

Between the cliff and wave….’ 

This may indicate that this area of land was not wooded in Samuel Ferguson’s time. 

Fungal recording in the past 

Howth is the major exception to the rule in that there is some historical fungal 

information. The most significant published paper is a report by Carleton Rea of a British 

Mycological Society/Dublin Naturalists’ Field Club Meeting in the area (1898 Irish 

Naturalist vol. 7 pp. 286-289). In 1996 Julian Roche, a botany student at Trinity College 

Dublin, completed an undergraduate thesis on the macrofungi of woodlands at Howth 

under the supervision of Dr. Paul Dowding. Fieldwork took place between October 1995 

and February 1996. During that study, 33 species were seen and monitored, and two 

fungi in the Genera Coprinus and Boletus were not identified to species.

Howth Demesne today 

Birch, Oak, Beech and Sycamore with some Horse Chestnut, Ash, Scot’s Pine and Larch 

– these trees are common at Howth. The woodlands’ understorey is of Rhododendron, 

Ivy or in more heathy places Bracken or Bramble. Hazel is infrequent. On Muck Rock, 

the vegetation around exposed rock outcrops is quite different with Gorse and Ling 

heather dominant. The Valley between Muck Rock and Dun Hill is called Birch Grove. It 

is owned by An Taisce. 

Geologically, the area is dominated by Bray Series rocks of Cambrian age. These old 

rocks are quartzites and other metasediments and are at least 500 million years old. 

Cooney (1994) conducted a palynological study at Howth. The main thesis is that 

vegetation during the Middle Ages was of Birch, Alder and Hazel. There may have been 

a fire or series of fires but heath and patchy scrub then followed. In the 1830s Scot’s Pine 

was introduced as part of a planting phase and Hazel disappeared. Pastures were marked 

on the 1837 O.S. map for the area on Ben of Howth and also parts of Dun Hill. Birch has 

made a natural recovery and has extended over heath in the last 50 years – probably as a 

result of goat removal. Roche (1996) stated that between 1843 and 1937 the amount of 

woodland around the Ben of Howth – Dun Hill area increased by 54%, heath and scrub 

by 2.6% and the area of farmed land decreased by 7.1%. Cooney (1994) considered the 

change in land use to be a consequence of the 1845-1850 Famine. In more recent times 

the potato rows on land under Muck Rock have been smoothed into the fairways of 

Deerpark golf course. 

1.3.3 Newbridge House Demesne 

Agaricus campestris in lawn near Newbridge House 

The architect George Semple designed the lovely Newbridge House which was built for 

Charles Cobbe (1686-1765), cousin and chaplin to the Lord Lieutenant and later 

Archbishop of Dublin. 

There is no published data on fungi from Newbridge Demesne.

1.3.4 St. Catherine’s Park 

View of River Liffey from footbridge 

St. Catherine’s Monastery was founded by Warris de Peche in 1219 for the Canons of St. 

Victor. The site was already the location of a holy well to St. Catherine and appears to 

have been an important place of pilgrimage. 

On the 1830s 6 inch map of the area St. Catherine’s Park and St. Catherine’s wells to the 

north of the Park are represented. Within the present park are St. Catherine’s Chapel, a 

flat area of open grassland, broadleaf woodland, mixed and plantation coniferous woods, 

a sluice on the river, along with paths or rides running through the wood. 

St. Catherine’s Woods were described in ‘A Preliminary Report on areas of scientific 

interest in County Dublin by Roger Goodwillie for An Foras Forbartha (1973). 

That report states: 

‘This area is …. Estate woodland…… with natural vegetation…. The area extends to the 

banks of the River Liffey. Some of the characteristic species of river banks are present 

e.g. Viburnum opulus (Guelder Rose), Crepis paludosa (Hawksbeard) and Scrophularia 

umbrosa (Figwort). In the ground cover of the woods, which include few coniferous 

trees, there are…. Lamiastrum gabobdolon (Yellow Archangel), Veronica montana 

(Wood Speedwell) and Melica uniflora (Wood Melick Grass) are common and tree 

interesting non-green plants occur:- Lathraea squamaria (Toothwort), Monotropa 

hypopitys (Yellow Bird’s Nest) and Orobanche hederae (Ivy Broomrape). These woods 

are attractive to birds and mammals’. 

The woods are still attractive to birds and animals including many human visitors who 

walk through the park daily. In fact, each of the sites in this survey draw many visitors. 

There is no playground at St. Catherine’s as yet but it is a well utilized green space. 

Previously published information on fungi in St. Catherine’s Park - Lucan Demesne is 

sparse. The most significant paper is a report by Carleton Rea of a British Mycological 

Society/ Dublin Naturalists’ Field Club Meeting in the area (1898 Irish Naturalist vol. 7 

pp. 286-289).

St. Catherine’s today 

The park has a range of habitats from Ivy-clad Beech woodland to an open field near the 

river. A strip of woodland hugs the river. The steep slope away from the river is also 

wooded, partially with a Sitka Spruce plantation forestry. 

St. Catherine’s Park is a continuous landscape unit along the Liffey River valley. There is 

a sense of landscape continuity both physically along the river and through time. A small 

piece of land along the bend of the river as far as the weir is host to some unusual 

mushroom species. The site is quite diverse for fungi. Habitat variation at St. Catherine’s 

is less dramatic compared with other sites but the niches are distinctly different. Humidity 

is relatively high in the wood adjacent to the river. Despite the difficulty of access to 

steep ground in part of the site, the fungal diversity of the site is high for size of the site. 

Pollution of the river by effluent and from the water treatment plant upstream is an issue 

for water and air quality. 

11


Chapter 2 Methodology 

Each site was traversed a number of times as shown on maps in Appendix I. By the end 

of three visits it was considered that the most important zones within the sites had been 

seen and sampled for fungi were fruiting this Autumn. Fungi are somewhat difficult to 

survey as sound, mature fruit bodies must be intercepted for identification purposes, 

unless one is to resort to expensive, high-tech means of sampling. Specimens were 

examined on the day and on the days after field work was conducted. 

Hand lenses and microscopes were used to determine species. A bibliography at the end 

of this report features keys and books used in the identification process. 

The Mycorec database updates fungal names to those of 2002. Current or most recent 

synonyms are utilised in this report unless historical records are given. In these cases, the 

modern name is noted in the database report. 

Providing fungi records with information on the exact locations of the find is very 

important. Short site visits took place in the late nineteenth century to St. Catherine’s 

Park, from the Dublin Naturalists’ Field Club in particular. There is a slight complication 

with some older records as St. Catherine’s was sometimes incorporated into Lucan 

Demesne for the purposes of fungal recording. It can be difficult to pin down the locality 

information for those records to north or south of the River Liffey. The importance of 

locality details cannot be ignored now. Today, with the assistance of OSI maps and GPS 

hand-held devices, we know where we are with more precision than ever before when 

noting botanical information. We have a responsibility to record this information for 

refinding species in future. Planning can take species and their needs into account in a far 

better way if the exact locations of species and their habitat niches are known.

Chapter 3 Results 

3.1 Data in Appendices 3-6 

An overview of the findings per woodland site is presented in Appendices 3-6. The 

findings are presented as a list of species encountered and as data records from the 

Mycorec database report. This database divides fungi into their biological groupings. It 

also displays host or nearest tree information so one can clearly see which plants are most 

important to the fungi e.g. Beech at St. Catherine’s Park. The greater the number of 

sightings the easier it is to see and identify a species. A slight bias is introduced for 

species that are more visible than others. Also, the repertory of species for any recorder is 

another limitation. 

3.2 Ardgillan Demesne 

109 species of fungi were seen in the course of this survey at Ardgillan. In addition, 40 

lichen species were listed, although lichens were not actively sought but merely noted 

where time allowed. A number of specimens could not be identified to species. 

Ardgillan’s 82 hectares are subdivided into woods, lawns and an avenue with trees such 

as Ash, Beech, Sweet Chestnut, Elm and Poplar. These trees are of various ages. Narrow 

strips of Beech and Sycamore dominated woodland link with larger areas of deciduous 

woodland. Oak, Ash and Horse Chestnut are also to be found. Conifers dot the extensive 

lawns in the site. 

Each mycorrhizal tree species will have a distinct associated flora in its root system, for 

example, Beech trees are found to have associated Russula species. Some trees do not 

form these bonds with fungi. Ash and Alder are two of these. 

3.3 Howth Demesne 

403 records of 161 species of fungi and 45 lichens were made. The opportunity was taken 

to database an undergraduate thesis by Julian Roche (1996) and much earlier fungal 

records from 1898. In all, 754 records of 219 fungal species including 45 species of 

lichen were drawn together during this study from our own work and historical data. 

Birch, Sycamore, Beech and Oak are the most significant associate tree species. The 

spread of associates is high for Howth. The substrate metasedimentary rocks of the Bray 

Group were also significant hosts for lichens. The heath just outside the site boundary is 

rich in Hygrocybe species and it contrasts with the woodland setting as a different kind of 

fungal resource. The loss of Hazel from the site over the centuries is regrettable. It is a 

valuable understorey species and has many associated fungi. 

13


3.4 Newbridge House Demesne 

134 fungal species were recorded at this site. Also 40 lichens and 3 lichen parasites were 

noted. 348 records were made in total. 

The hosts Oak, Beech, Willow, Horse Chestnut, Walnut and Grasses were significant. 

The sense of continuity from the eighteenth century of parkland and its management is 

important in the diversity of the site. 

3.5 St. Catherine’s Park 

266 records of 87 species of fungi plus 27 lichen species were made at this site. 

Beech is the most important host tree in St. Catherine’s Park. Sycamore and Sitka Spruce 

have significant numbers of fungi and lichens associated with them. 

Like Ash, Alder does not form conventional mycorrhizal relationships with fungi. Yet 

both these trees are good lichen hosts, particularly where they are in humid situations. 

Some lichen species grow best when overhanging freshwater. In polluted areas, this zone 

can be a difficult one for lichens to hold, due to competition from large swathes of green 

algae. 

St. Catherine’s Park appeared to be the most urban and most polluted of the regional 

parks in Fingal studied this season. Yet St. Catherine’s Park is very interesting. It is the 

smallest site in this tranche, ten times smaller than Newbridge House Demesne. So to say 

that St. Catherine’s is biodiverse for fungi is fair. Lichen species are uncommon at the 

highest parts of the site. 

There was quite a high number of obscure and unidentified fungal species which indicate 

that further investigations at St. Catherine’s could prove very fruitful. Despite 

discontinuity of woodland cover, different management styles and regional pollution, the 

site is biodiverse for fungi. There were a number of species found at this inland site that 

were not seen at coastal sites. The ‘signal’ for St. Catherine’s Park is quite different from 

the other sites. 

Ivy is extremely dense in some parts of St. Catherine’s Park. In the past, horses, cattle or 

sheep would have grazed in the woodlands here. These animals ate Ivy and kept it from 

running rampant through woods. Unfortunately now these woods have lost a number of 

lichen species that have no source in the area from whence to return.

Chapter 4 Discussion 

4.1Fungal diversity 

619 species of fungi were on record from Co. Dublin prior to this study according to the 

British Mycological Society. (See Appendix 2). As far as we can ascertain from the 

literature, the following 64 species have not been recorded before and are therefore new 

to Dublin and to Fingal. This represents a 10% increase in the species known to occur in 

the Dublin Vice County. The number of species found is high partly because this Autumn 

was a good one for fungi.

Both Ardgillan and Newbridge Demesnes had quite a number of pasture species – five Agaricus 

apiece and several Hygrocybe species. It was a pleasure to find Hygrocybe intermedia in the grass 

at Newbridge House. Colourful Waxcaps of the Genus Hygrocybe, are doyens of grassland 

conservation. Howth hosts at least six Hygrocybe species but several of these are outside the 

designated area, in a patch of heathland. It is unlikely that artificial fertilizers or fungicides have 

been used on land where Hygrocybe species grow. Large populations of Marasmius oreades, the 

Fairy Ring Mushroom, at Newbridge House were impressive this season. Ardgillan Demesne also 

had many Marasmius oreades rings. The Deceiver, Laccaria laccata, was common in grassy areas. 

St. Catherine’s Park is not so rich in these Genera. 

Inonotus hispidus is a Bracket fungus and considered to be a scarce. It has only been seen on four 

trees in Dublin. Three of these are in Newbridge House Demesne and the other one is at the 

National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin. 

St. Catherine’s Park hosts some unusual species and for its size and habitat limitations it has rich 

areas for fungi within it. Melanophyllum eyrei and Melanophyllum echinatum were a joy to see. The 

old wood by the River Liffey is one of few areas with Hazel as an understorey species. It is an 

important tree for associated fungi. 

Boletus albidus was present under the Five Oaks near Ardgillan Castle. This was one of the species 

found New to Dublin in the course of this work. On the other end of the scale St. Catherine’s Park 

appears to be poor in Boletus and related species. Boletes are mainly associated with Oak and Birch 

and some may favour the acidic conditions at Howth. 

Amanita species are most common at Howth (4 species). The deadly Amanita phalloides at 

Ardgillan and Amanita pantherina at Howth may raise questions regarding the best way to keep 

visitors to the parks safe from accidental poisoning. Ignorance up to now has been some protection. 

The National Poisons Unit at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin has responsibility for mushroom 

poisonings in Ireland. Many enquiries have been made over the years with regard to the effects of 

Magic mushroom ingestion, now illegal in Ireland. Few serious poisonings and few fatalities have 

taken place but now that more people are picking fungi for culinary uses, care must be taken. 

Confusion between species that look very similar is one problem. Clitocybe dealbata is a deadly 

poisonous mushroom found at Ardgillan and at Howth. It can be easily confused with the Miller, 

Clitocybe prunulus which is very good to eat. 

Fungi taken from Ardgillan for food include Calvatia gigantea (Giant Puffballs) and Coprinus 

comatus (Ink caps). Shaggy Ink Caps are good to eat but must not be consumed at the same time as 

alcohol or the combination can make one very ill. The Giant Puffball, Calvatia gigantea was 

encountered at Newbridge, Ardgillan and Howth in different contexts. The specimens at Newbridge 

and Howth were in grass as expected. The Ardgillan group were in deep shade in woodland near the 

coast. Several species at Ardgillan gave a confused signal in the sense that ‘field mushrooms’ live 

in the woodland at the base of the site. 

The unusual-looking species Auricularia mesenterica was seen at St. Catherine’s Park and at 

Newbridge Demesne (image in Newbridge Appendix 5). Populations of this species seem more 

common than we had previously thought. Sticks left in situ are an important niche for this species 

and the fact that sticks are not gathered for firewood appears to be a factor. 

16


The Bracket Fungus Ganoderma applanatum is common to all sites. A tree was cut at Ardgillan 

because of a perceived danger that the tree was rotten and that it could fall on a passer-by. After 

felling, it was realised that the fungus had not caused serious damage to the tree and it was not a 

great health-and-safety risk after all. There is a balance between the urge to leave damaged trees or 

standing dead wood and the need to protect the general public as they use parks. 

There is a slightly unusual species of Earthstar at Newbridge, Geastrum rufescens. Earthstars really 

capture the imagination. 

Howth hosts 9 Lactarius or Milk Cap species, several associated with its many Oak and Beech 

trees. Newbridge is next with 4 species of Lactarius. Howth also has a large number of little 

Mycena species. Mycena can be lovely but as there are many species, and the specimens are often 

small and ephemeral, so time is of the essence for identification. The number of species that can be 

identified is often down to experience, time and access to literature. Howth has 12 species of 

Russula. Newbridge has a higher number of unidentified Cortinarius species than any other site. A 

better understanding of this group would increase numbers of species at all sites. 

Unfortunately the tree-killing parasite Armillaria mellea (Honey fungus) is common to all four 

sites. In fact 15 species are common to all 4 sites. 

These are: 

Armillaria mellea (Honey Fungus) 

Auricularia auricula-judae (Jew’s Ear) 

Clavunina cristata (White Coral Fungus) 

Collybia confluens (Tough Shank) 

Ganoderma applanatum (Artist’s Bracket) 

Laccaria laccata (The Deceiver) 

Lepiota cristata 

Lycoperdon pyriforme (Stump Puff Ball) 

Nectria cinnabarina (Coral Spot Fungus) 

Peziza badia 

Rhytisma acerinum (Tar spot) on Sycamore leaves 

Taphrina alni (Alder Tongue) on Alder cones 

Trametes versicolor (Many-zoned Polypore) 

Xerocomus chrysenteron (Red Cracked Bolete)

4.2 Lichen diversity in Fingal 

Howth has the greatest lichen diversity of the four sites (45 in total, see Table 2). Howth is quite 

‘unique’ from a lichen perspective. It has 17 lichen species not found other sites. This is mainly due 

to the unusual substrate for saxicolous lichens not being represented in the other locations. Rock 

outcrops of Cambrian Bray Group and acid heath are important for lichen species at Howth. 

St. Catherine’s Park is the least ‘original’ site for lichens. It is true to say that the lichen flora of St. 

Catherine’s is poor. One of the three lichen species found only at St. Catherine’s is Lecanora 

conizaeoides, a lichen tolerant of high levels of air and water pollution, conditions found in urban 

environments. To say that lichens abhor polluted environments is untrue. Many species do, but a 

number of species are ubiquitous in cities as competition from other organisms is low. 

Ivy is present in huge amounts in parts of St. Catherine’s woodland. It obliterates epiphytic lichens 

by shading them and by physically taking their place on trees. Chrysothrix candelaris and 

Schismatomma species are quality parkland lichens and the loss of lichen diversity to these sites 

will be nearly impossible to reverse. Lack of source material in the locality to recolonise a damaged 

site is a big problem. 

The lichen species common to all sites are: 

Arthonia radiata 

Enterographa crassa 

Evernia prunastri 

Lecanora chlarotera 

Lecidella elaeochroma 

Lepraria incana agg. 

Opegrapha atra 

Parmelia sulcata 

Parmotrema perlatum 

Ramalina fastigiata 

Xanthoria parietina

4.3 Site comparison 

The four parks featured in this study compare well, with regard to habitat variation within and 

between sites. Fluvial woodland, eighteenth century parkland, lake edges, seaside grassland, coastal 

woodland and Cambrian cliffs all feature in some form through the sites. 

Of the four locations, the most similar sites are Ardgillan and Newbridge Demesnes. They are 

situated near the Irish Sea and have been managed somewhat similarly over the past three hundred 

years. The quality of established parkland at Ardgillan gives it an edge over Newbridge for fungal 

diversity. The ectomycorrhizal associations between particular trees and their fungi are well 

developed there. 

Newbridge Demesne covers 145.7 ha (350 acres including an 8ha working farm). Ardgillan spreads 

to 80 ha by the sea, where open lawns are fringed by woodland. St. Catherine’s Park is only 16 ha 

and is an old Beech-dominated wood on the northern bank of the River Liffey. Howth Demesne is 

on Howth tombolo in Dublin Bay and spreads over a wider area of rock outcop, re-naturalised 

Estate edge, Birch and mixed woods with acid heath above. Despite the sites all being managed by 

Anglo-Irish merchant and aristocratic classes for nearly three hundred years, they each have their 

nuances. Even though the inland park at St. Catherine’s has the lowest number of species, for its 

size it is quite rich for fungi. It has in places a sense of mature woodland, a feeling that there has 

been wood along the Liffey edge there for many centuries. 

All of the aforementioned sites are on Carboniferous Limestone and calcareous soils with one 

exception. Howth Demesne is on Cambrian quartzites and metamorphosed siltstones and 

mudstones. The gulf between calcareous-loving and siliceous-loving life is a major one in biology. 

So Howth is quite different from the other sites in its habitat niches and biological affiliations. 

Howth has many niches not found at the other sites, mainly long-lived Birch, old Oak-Beech 

woods, with some Scot’s Pine and acid heath. Although Rhododendron makes access to some areas 

a challenge, it provides shelter and allows humidity to build up beneath its heavy cover. Ivy has not 

destroyed the woods of Howth for fungi or for lichens. 

Howth is the highest site climbing to 110 m. Ardgillan slopes down from 90m to 20m and almost 

reaches the North Dublin coast. Newbridge House is relatively flat and low-lying at 5m. St. 

Catherine’s Park is on the north side of a river valley. It is low lying at the river but rises steeply 

through a wooded area to 45m.

4.4 Factors affecting fungi & lichen diversity 

As discussed previously, geology divides St. Catherine’s Park, Newbridge House and Ardgillan 

Estate on one side with calcareous 350 Ma Carboniferous Limestone under them, against Howth 

with its siliceous 500Ma Cambrian Metasediments on the other. Rock type has some bearing on 

fungal species as geology usually determines soil type and available nutrients. Many lichens 

growing on rock outcrops are sensitive to substrate chemistry and texture. Soil type influences what 

kind of vascular plants grow in a site. This in turn controls mycorrhizal fungi. 

Usually, the tree types of a site decide a proportion of the fungi likely to grow there. Russula 

species with Beech and Leccinum with Birch are just two examples seen in the course of this work. 

The importance of host and associated species cannot be underestimated for fungi and for lichens. 

Specific ectomycorrhizal associations exist between certain fungi and their vascular partners. The 

fungi produce a network of fungal mycelia and inhabit the root systems of trees. Indeed, without 

these fungi, trees would die. So happy trees mean happy fungi and vice versa. The interdependence 

is very important to keep in mind.

We can see from table 4 that Beech is the most important host tree species to all sites, particularly to 

St. Catherine’s Park. Birch is very important for Howth Demesne. Sycamore, Oak and Sweet 

Chestnut are important at Ardgillan Demesne. In the case of Sycamore over-representation as 

associated species may occur in the data as it was commonly seen nearest to a fungus but may not 

be the important tree species. E.g. a beech tree further away might be the true associated tree 

species. 

Very important is the continuity of a woodland and of ongoing management practices. The lack of 

change in the parkland at Newbridge House is partly why it is quite rich. St. Catherine’s Park has 

areas with few or no lichens, which can partly be attributed to felling or heavy coppicing. The 

extent of Ivy cover and competition on the ground and in trees is another contributing factor to the 

diversity of fungi and lichen species. Ivy control seems to be practised only to a limited extent in 

Ardgillan and Newbridge. The management of dead wood within the woodland can have significant 

influence too on the diversity of fungi. Generally in the demesne landscape parks, both standing and 

lying dead wood is removed, but this material provides the substrate for many saprophytic species. 

The air and water quality at a particular site are important factors determining the growth, diversity 

and spreading of fungi & lichen species. Howth, Ardgillan and Newbridge are influenced by the 

humid, normally cleansing effect of the Irish Sea, while air pollution from the nearby motorway and 

water pollution in the Liffey are likely to have a negative impact on the diversity of fungi and lichen 

at St. Catherine’s Park. 

4.5 Fungi Conservation Status 

Ireland has approximately 3,500 taxa of fungi. Ireland’s National Strategy for Plant Conservation 

group expect a fungal checklist for Ireland in 2007. Lichens make up 1,254 additional species. This 

includes 150 lichenicolous fungi (Fox, 2001, 2004). 

The Environment and Heritage Service in Northern Ireland have become interested in fungi in 

recent years. The Northern Ireland Fungus Group have an excellent website and 2,244 species are 

documented for Northern Ireland. The EHS have listed 16 fungi as priority species. There has been 

a Hygrocybe grassland survey over several seasons recently across Northern Ireland. They state that 

All-Ireland species action plans are required for some species. 

A poor knowledge of fungal distribution in Ireland means that it is difficult to say whether a 

particular species is regionally rare unless the distribution of the habitat or host species is restricted 

or unknown. The lack of surveys in Ireland leads to difficulties when comparing sites. The species 

listed in this work were met in the course of site transects alone. These range from mushrooms to 

microfungi, myxomycetes and bracket fungi as well as lichens. 

No Red Data Book for fungi in Ireland has been prepared as yet. Neither is there a Red Data Book 

for British fungi although Bruce Ing’s list has been used there as an unofficial RDB since 1992. 

Accordingly, not a single fungus has a conservation status in Ireland. 

A series of papers by Muskett and later Muskett and Malone in the 1970s and 1980s brought 

historical records together but there is still much to do. Roland McHugh has included rare 

Myxomycetes on Natural Heritage Area lists. With a dearth of detailed information on the 

distribution of many fungi in Ireland, it is impossible to address issues of conservation in detail. It is 

premature to compare sites at a national level. 

22


4.6 Threats to fungal diversity and to fungal populations 

The main threats to the woodland fungi in Fingal are 

• Ivy 

• Trampling 

• Over-harvesting 

• Air & Water pollution 

• Armillaria mellea (Honey fungus) and other tree killing fungi that can outcompete other 

fungi and aggressively dominate an area 

Ivy 

Ivy competes in the soil with fungi and excessive 

growth of Ivy on the ground can outcompete 

fungi. As a liane, Ivy climbs trees and outcompetes 

lichen flora. Epiphytic lichens take many 

years to build up on tree bark. This diversity 

can be obliterated in fewer than five years of 

uncontrolled Ivy growth. In some of the demesne 

woodlands, Ivy has become a very prominent 

feature of the woodland flora and this is likely to 

have an effect on the fungi and lichen diversity in 

these woodlands. 

Trampling – visitor pressure 

The concomitant trampling of the forest floor can significantly reduce [by 30% in places] the 

number of fruit bodies produced’ (Egli et al. 2006). The clear signal that trampling reduces the 

likelihood of fungal mycelia producing mushrooms must be kept in mind. Path construction through 

woods can also compromise mycelial viability as ectomycorrhizae die when disconnected from 

their host tree’s roots. 

Fungi for food 

For Chanterelle, Cantharellus cibarius, the global food market is worth $1.67 B annually (Watling 

1997). Fungi are useful as wild food and pressure on fungi has increased in Ireland in recent years. 

No Chanterelles were found during this survey and it is expected that this species is frequent but not 

very common in Ireland. 

Anecdotal evidence is that fungi are being gathered for food by more people in recent years. People 

with regular stomping grounds have arrived after others have harvested Boletes and Chanterelles. 

This is a new phenomenon in Ireland. 

When he saw the basket, one passer-by in Ardgillan suggested that one should come back at dawn 

to have first pick of the fungi these days! Increased picking pressure is not known to harm fungi. 

Associated trampling of soil can lead to a failure of the fungus to fruit. What may be of greater 

import is the risk of a misidentification leading to a poisoning event. People gathering fungi may be 

new to the Irish flora and so the risk is heightened where there is a confident picker in an unfamiliar 

environment. 

Unlike our Continental neighbours, the encouragement of edible fungi through inoculation and 

other methods has not been carried out in Ireland to any great extent. If we have a small resource in 

certain edible fungi e.g. Chanterelle, then high pressure on the small resource is something to avoid. 

As yet it is difficult to quantify the pressure from secret mushroom collecting. At the other end, 

details on volumes and locations of edible fungi are shrouded in mystery. 

23


Air and Water pollution 

Air and water pollution are linked regional issues wich we cannot fully address here. Away from 

the influence of the Irish Sea, and adjacent to a water-treatment plant, St. Catherine’s Park is the 

most vulnerable site. The River Liffey is polluted there. When mist rises from the river what should 

be a benefit – high humidity – becomes a disadvantage as the air quality is compromised by 

polluted water droplets. There is a trading of pollutants between air and river in any urban site. A 

large, relatively clean river can buffer the local air quality in its river valley. Higher humidity is key 

to the presence of many fungi. Compromise of groundwater or soil water quality near the water 

treatment plant or the river could have an impact on the feasibility of certain fungi in the low-lying 

parts of St. Catherine’s Park. Water quality and its effect on fungi is a complicated matter, 

particularly for soil water and perhaps one best dealt with on a site by site level 

Threats from fungi - Sudden Oak Death 

Sudden Oak Death (Phytophthora ramorum) was not found in Fingal, but this aggressive fungus is 

becoming an increasing problem in Ireland and Northern Ireland on Rhododendron and Viburnum. 

Sudden Oak Death is in the same Genus as Phytophthora infestans, Potato Blight. It is native to 

Oregon on the west coast of North America. It was probably introduced to Ireland on nursery stock. 

Like Potato Blight, Phytophthora ramorum is a wasting, wilting disease and causes serious damage 

to Rhododendron and surrounding woodlands as seen in Killarney National Park. 

In Northern Ireland there is now some legislation to combat the problem of Sudden Oak Death and 

it is now illegal to transport infected plants. DEFRA have produced an information leaflet on SOD - 

Phytophthora ramorum. There is as yet no legislation or research initiatives to address the issue in 

Ireland. 

Some other fungi infect and destroy trees. These fungi are not good for general forest health, for 

example Armillaria mellea and Piptoporus betulinus. 

24


Chapter 5 Recommendations 

5.1 Woodland management 

Clear felling of woodlands and excessive pruning or pollarding should be avoided to maintain a 

diverse fungi and lichen community. These management operations remove the habitat and 

substrate for fungi and lichens and should therefore only be carried out on a small scale over a 

number of years. This will allow the species to survive elsewhere in the woodland and in time can 

re-colonise areas where woodland management works were undertaken. 

The potential for planting appropriate, perhaps even inoculated parkland trees could improve the 

fungal health and diversity of a woodland. One species that had a surprising limited distribution in 

these parks was Hazel. This understorey species is a host to many fungi and lichens and therefore it 

is recommended to promote the spread of Hazel in all woodland sites. The Hazel stock should be 

sourced from local woodlands as much as possible. An increase of other important host species such 

as Birch and Oak is also recommended. 

Standing and lying dead wood is an important resource for saprobic fungi and as shelter for wasps, 

woodlice, mice and owls among others. It is important however that only limited amounts of dead 

wood be left lying near populations of Armillaria mellea (Honey fungus) or other parasitic fungi. 

Currently, Honey fungus occurs localised within the woodland, but this species could become a 

serious problem to nearby living trees if allowed to spread vigorously by means of dead wood. 

It is recommended that a certain amount of Ivy control is carried out in the woodlands, particularly 

in Newbridge and St. Catherine’s. This measure should go hand in hand with research on Ivy and its 

effects on fungi and lichen diversity. The research element is described in more detail in paragraph 

5.2. 

An important group of fungi missing from the four woodland sites are associated with animal dung. 

The introduction of animals to sites may not be feasible with amenity use of these parks, but 

nonetheless it is recommended to look into the possibilities for animals (seasonally) grazing the 

woodlands. When horses were superceded by motorised vehicles, horse-associated fungi like 

Agaricus arvensis suffered decreased ranges. 

5.2 Research, 

Progress in conservation depends on progress in taxonomy, and in our understanding of distribution 

and ecology. With many of our university teaching staff nearing retirement or just retired, there are 

few opportunities for students to receive training in fungal taxonomy in Ireland. Fungi are perceived 

to be a difficult biological group partly because fungal nomenclature and species concepts are more 

fluid than for vascular plants. 

Fingal County Council can assist in expanding our knowledge on fungi and lichen communities in 

Ireland by commissioning more fungi surveys in woodland sites in Fingal or more in-depth studies 

such as: 

• The Spring fungal flush, and the range of different species that appear with different weather 

conditions 

25


• The Grassland fungi: Newbridge could be an excellent study site for grassland fungi as it 

hosts a wide range of Hygrocybe and Agaricus species 

• The ecology of Birch Polypore: Piptoporus betulinus is at Howth and it kills Birch trees. A 

better understanding of this species would help with management of Birch as a forest tree. 

Ivy can have a serious impact on fungi and lichen diversity. In Ireland, we have yet to replace 

anecdote with data in regard to Ivy and its overall influence on diversity in our woods and 

hedgerows and accordingly, research into this topic would be most beneficial. Accordingly, it is 

recommended that comparative research is carried out in Newbridge Demesne and St. Catherine’s 

between Ivied sections of the woodland and those without Ivy for lichen and fungi diversity. 

5.3 Education & Training 

Ardgillan was the only park where both staff and visitors engaged the surveyor in conversation 

about fungi. The head gardener at Ardgillan are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about fungal 

health in the site. Perhaps specific training and support for her initiatives could build on the strong 

base of staff awareness. 

Howth was the focus of attention this Autumn when Dr. Paul Dowding (retired, TCD) led a group 

of 70 people to look for edible fungi on 22nd October 2006. The meeting was organised by Slow 

Food Ireland and demonstrates the interest in wild fungi as a food source. Perhaps school visits and 

forays can be organised to satisfy that interest. 

A deadly poisonous species – Amanita phalloides (Death cap) grows singly and in clusters. One 

notable group was located opposite the gate to Walled garden, near a main path at Ardgillan. 

Yellow blushing Agaricus xanthodermus are common at Ardgillan. While they are not deadly 

poisonous, they will make people ill and can look just like the edible Agaricus campestris. 

Highlighting awareness of fungi brings a responsibility to educate about the potential dangers of 

fungi. 

5.4 Grassland fungi 

Field mushrooms have a large area of lawn in which to grow. Although the range of species is 

limited, the lawns could with time develop more interesting fungal floras. The presence of 

Hygrocybe species (Wax caps) in the lawns show that fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides have not 

been applied in significant amounts. Hygrocybe diversity is used as a way of identifying 

unimproved grasslands of conservation value. 

The biodiversity of grassy areas could be enhanced by animal grazing or by spreading manure. 

Horses are particularly rewarding for their associated dung fungi. Cutting regimes of grass could be 

varied so that matting of grass roots does not occur all over the site. Physical break up of grass mats 

can assist fungi that have not fruited in some time. 

26


Chapter 6 Conclusions 

The survey of Newbridge, Ardgillan, Howth and St. Catherines Demesnes gives a first impression 

of the species of fungi growing in Fingal. 237 different species of Fungi were recorded in the course 

of the survey. 64 of these species were new records for County Dublin. 

Optimal woodland mushroom habitat with lots of fruit body production is usually in Ivy-free 

situations, deep litter beds and mossy turf, or in short grass under mycorrhizal trees. Within 

Newbridge, Ardgillan and St. Catherine’s Ivy seems to have a negative impact on the fungi and 

lichen diversity. Ivy coverage is less of a problem in Howth Demesne. Geology is another factor 

influencing fungal diversity. Newbridge, Ardgillan and St. Catherine’s are situated on calcareous 

soils, while Howth is situated on acids soils. The geology determines the soil chemistry and to a 

certain extent the flora of a site, which in turn affect the fungal diversity. The study showed that 

Oak, Beech, Birch, Ash and Sycamore are important to fungi in the sites. St. Catherine’s has more 

species associated with Beech than anywhere else. Howth is significant for species associated with 

Birch. This influence of tree populations on mushroom floristics has not been clearly demonstrated 

before in the Irish context. The study found that Hazel is no longer a significant understorey bush in 

the woods surveyed and that this species should be actively encouraged in woodlands. 

The most important threats to fungal and lichen diversity in the woodlands of Fingal are increased 

ground & tree coverage of Ivy, trampling, over-harvesting of mushrooms, air & water pollution, 

tree pruning & felling and the spread of aggressive fungi such as Honey fungus. 

The conservation status of the fungi encountered during this study is currently unknown. A poor 

knowledge of fungal distribution in Ireland means that it is difficult to say whether a particular 

species is regionally or nationally rare. Many species have been encountered only once, and 

consequently are rare according to this and previous surveys. How meaningful this is in a regional 

context is unclear, due to the unpredictability of fungal fruit body occurrence. More survey work 

will be needed around the country to address this issue. 

Details of what fungi were encountered are of great interest to those people with a moderate ability 

in species identification of fungi. There are always surprises and occasionally severe identification 

challenges with fungi. This challenge is a daily one for even the most experienced mycologist, and 

it forms much of the fun. With digital cameras, global positioning systems and modern maps, we 

have the means to document the question of what lives where in a more precise way than previous 

generations of mycologists. The why questions still require imagination. For conservation to 

succeed, we need to leave information that encourages, stimulates and facilitates future enquiry.

Compilation List of Fungi for 4 Sites in Fingal 

237 species of different fungi were recorded during this study of four sites. 309 species were 

databased, some data coming from previous studies at Howth. Additional species records had been 

made during a BMS/DNFC Field Meeting in 1898 and also as part of an undergraduate project by 

Julian Roche (1996), both at Howth. 

64 of these fungi appear new to Dublin (those species in bold).

§ species seen by Julian Roche (Unpublished undergraduate thesis, TCD 1996) 

# species noted by the authors at Howth already recorded by BMS/DNFC or Julian Roche 

= signifies a synonym where a fungus has been reassigned a name in line with current research. The 

nomenclature of fungal names is more mobile than that of vascular plants. Species concepts are 

revised frequently so one must be conscious of the older names for species as well as the current 

understanding.
