A waxcap a day....

I keep falling over new waxcap species every time I venture outside. Here's a surprise - the rarely recorded Hygrocybe ingrata (no English name) which has appeared in two of the fields. It is not on the Monmouthshire fungi list apparently. I'm confident of the ID but the waxcap bible (Boertmann) has it as between 20 and 60mm cap size whereas 2 of the three I found were 70mm. I'll have to let him know!
