The Scarlet Waxcap is back

I was wondering where this waxcap was as it has been one of the more common waxcaps here but it has started appearing in the last few days. This is definitely an outstanding waxcap season in terms of quantity - there are hundreds of waxcaps in three of the fields. I am not sure whether this is an effect of management and in particular the sheep grazing, or whether it is just a weather-related phenomenon.
