Meadow Waxcap now fruiting

Actually there have been a few small ones a few weeks ago but this is the first proper Meadow Waxcap (Hygrocybe pratensis) of the season. I am expecting scores if not hundreds more. They are edible but not particularly tasty. The colour and the deeply decurrent gills are diagnostic and it is an outstandingly handsome fungi.
