More fungi...

On holiday today, with thick fog on the coast I headed a short way inland to Shepherds Law to check out some waxcap grassland.

There were quite a few out but I still struggle with the identification...

Waxcap grassland

 I've never been to this spot before, but read that it was good for grass land fungi so gave it a try. It was excellent. To allow most waxcap species to grow the grass must not have artificial fertilisers for more than 50 years! Is it any wonder they are so rare...

The list is as follows -

Meadow Waxcap Hygrocype pratensis many
Scarlet Waxcap H. coccinea
Crimson Waxcap H.punicea
Golden Waxcap H. chlorophana
Heath or Honey Waxcap H. laeta or H. reidii
Snowy Waxcap H. virginea many
poss Blackening Waxcap H. conica

This isnt a waxcap....

Possible Blackening Waxcap? It was yellowish green and seemed 'burnt'.

Crimson Waxcaps. New for me.

Are these Heath Waxcap or Honey Waxcap?

Scarlet Waxcap

I thought this might be Fibrous Waxcap, but now think its more likely to be a mature Crimson...
