September fungi - Hygrocybe ingrata

Absolutely drowning in waxcaps here since we got back from holiday mid-month but until yesterday I hadn't seen many elsewhere. I am particularly pleased to see a large fruiting of this little known waxcap (it doesn't have an English name). I had some fruiting at the end of June strangely but now there is a troupe of around 30 in the large field. This phot is of a grizzled old slug eaten example which shows the cap nicely. Thee books say they get up to 50 or 60mm across but this is bigger.
