| Another small species, the one photographed
measuring around 4.5mm in length. Rhizophagus
nitidulus is one of several species in the UK,
belonging to the Monotidae family and are
generally found near fungi. During the Winter months
they may be found under bark, but R. nitidulus is one of the
more uncommon finds generally. There are few recent records from the
Sherwood Forest NNR, but records do include these illustrated below,
found in February 2009 at the Sherwood Forest CP and from Sherwood Heath
SSSI in June 2021. |
