New Species - Yellow Foot Waxcap

The fungi foray here at The Beeches on Saturday turned up a new waxcap for the list here - the Yellow Foot Waxcap (Hygrocybe flavipes). It has the dual attractions of being easy to identify (due to its yellow base of the stem when plucked) and having beautiful grey gills with lots of interconnecting veins. I note that my photo shows neither of these features!
