Waxcap #18 - Butter Waxcap

The last one recorded this year. Disappoining compared to last year's total of 24 but fungi are like that; not at all predictable. The Butter Waxcap (Hygrocybe ceracea) can be mistaken for a small Golden Waxcap or ideed any of the small yellowish ones but a combination of the texture of the cap, and the broadly attached, usually pale yellow gills serve to distinguish it.

Waxcap #17 - Honey Waxcap

Only spotted once in the West Field whereas there are usually several clumps there. It may be that the wet weather has reduced the incidence or that it has reduced my surveys! Old photo again.

Waxcap #16 Glutinous Waxcap

Again just in the East and West Fields and again seen rarely this year - it's not been a great year for Waxcaps here but on the other hand I have reached 18 species so not a disaster. Old photo as I have been a bit remiss taking photos this year.

Waxcap #15 Persistent Waxcap

Found in both the main fungi fields this year - East and West fields. As usual just an occasional find.

Waxcap #14 - Yellow Foot Waxcap

Surprisingly only seen once this year and in the South Field, so not seen in its usual haunt , the West Field where it tends to occur quite frequently. Inevitably an old photo.

Waxcap #13 - Blackening Waxcap

Just a few around this year and no particularly phototgenic ones so here's an old photo.

Waxcap #12 - Snowy Waxcap

Out of order as it's been around in numbers for a while is the Snowy Waxcap (Cuphophyllus virgineus). No sign so far of the similar Cedarwood Waxcap. Old photo.
