Waxcap heaven

This is another of the newly identified waxcaps here at Waxcap Central. This is the Persistent Waxcap, now known as Hygrocybe acutoconica var acutoconica. I'm going to have to add up the number of species shortly to see if we have passed from a site of regional importance to one of national importance. I guess the reality is that most sites undercount the number of species due to identification difficulties or just the lack of someone to patrol every day looking for waxcaps!
