During a field excursions in the Jizerské hory Mts. in 2010 and 2011, we found an interesting taxon of the genus Geoglossum. It was later identified as Geoglossum uliginosum Hakelier and is characterised by almost black fruitbodies, a viscid stipe becoming shiny after drying, and specific paraphyses. Its characteristic habitats are peat bogs or wet meadows with Molinia caerulea, Carex spec. div., Deschampsia cespitosa and/or Nardus stricta, always overgrown with Sphagnum sp.
