First waxcaps of the year

Two lots of waxcaps have appeared and the one above is Butter Waxcap (Hygrocybe ceracea) (Note: 24 September - I now think the photo shows Golden Waxcaps and not Butter Waxcaps- I really must get these yellow waxcaps nailed) which is reasonably common here at The Beeches. The other I have not managed to identify though I have seen it here before. It is currently in the hands of an expert so hopefully I will be able to name it this year. In fact I hope this year to have a complete list of waxcaps at The Beeches by filling in the gaps of two or three that I have not managed to identify.
