Devil's Fingers (Clathrus archeri).

Slimy Waxcap (Gliophorus irrigatus).

New waxcap just dropped: Gliophorus alboviscidus D.J. Harries & G.W. Griff., Diagnosis: Basidiomata resembling Gliophorus irrigatus but lacking grey or brownish colours. ITS 362 sequences strongly divergent (9.7%) #FungiFriends www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Waxcap 30 - Butterscotch Waxcap (Gliophorus europerplexus) 😍 Previously in the perplexus agg. A browny beige species. Chunkier and less viscid than sciophanus. Different colours to Parrot or Jubilee. Incredibly rare.

Sunset Waxcap (Gliophorus sciophanus).

Waxcap 35 - Slender Waxcap (Cuphophyllus radiatus). Similar to Yellowfoot but no yellowing to the more slender stipe and stronger striations in the cap. Quite small and hard to spot.

Wow, wow, wow: Mycena pseudocorticola and, finally, Mycena meliigena, occurring together on moss-covered oak branches in quantity (this is just a small section). A friend spent years looking for M. meliigina every time she came across M. pseudocorticola! [Rushmere CP, Bucks]

Snowy Waxcap (Cuphophyllus virgineus).

Waxcap 33 - Nitrous Waxcap (Neohygrocybe nitrata). The name comes from the smell, very strong of swimming pool chlorine. Cap colour varies from grey to nearly black and overall size is also really variable. The stipe is generally a bit chunky. An uncommon species.

Grey Waxcap (Cuphophyllus lacmus).

3/11/25 Cumbria - I've historically disregarded the excitement associated with descriptions of white forms of Ballerina #Waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis f. nivalis) because they often fade with time Well that all changed today, this pair of fresh examples almost completely lacking color

Heath Waxcap (Gliophorus laetus).

Waxcap 20 - Jubilee Waxcap (Gliophorus reginae). One of our rarest species and an absolute stunner 😍 Only named in 2012 and from a British specimen, the name comes from it then being the Jubilee. Colours differ from Parrot and gill attachment from Heath. Only in our best unimproved grasslands.

Steely Bonnet (Mycena pseudocorticola).

Pink Wax Cap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis).

An incredible blue Parrot Waxcap (Gliophorus psittacinus) 😍 It's always lovely to see Parrots and the colour variety is astonishing. This is my Parrot highlight of the season for sure. #wildfungihour

It's waxcap season - fungi of nutrient poor grasslands that tend to peak in late autumn. This is the Date Waxcap, Hygrocybe spadicea, from grassland within the Balmoral estate. It is a rare species and an indicator of high quality fungi (CHEGD) grassland. #FungiFriday
