Fibrous waxcap

This is not a new species for the site but it is one waxcap that is quite distinctive and easy to identify. Both the colouration and the surface of both cap and stem are unusual. I haven't seen this mentioned in the reference books but it also seems to occur often in a close group of several fruiting bodies as per the photograph above. I didn't spot this here in the last couple of years but there are a few around this year.
