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 #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.

Hare'sfoot Inkcap
A common enough species but I am not sure I have recorded this here before. Photogenic enough to include a couple of photos.

New Species - Beige Coral
What a great month for new Clavaroids - a third new one has fruited here. Beige Coral (Clavulinopsis umbrinella(. It has certainly been a strange fungi season, great here for Clavaroids, lots of Earthtongues in the local area but at the same time a lot of the 'normal' Waxcaps have not appeared.

Waxcap #11 - Splendid Waxcap
Not fruiting yet in the East Field where it appears usually and in numbers but the small clump in the South Field is back. I am pleased to see my favourite Waxcap appearing at last.

Waxcap #10 - Crimson Waxcap
I'm a bit behind with the Waxcaps this year so a bit out of order here's the most recent one - Crimson Waxcap (Hygrocybe punicea). For some reason I get just one or two of these. They may be slow to grow or it may be that conditions suit them only at this one place.
