Three more waxcap species

The last couple of days has yielded up three more waxcaps here making four for the year so far. Yesterday I found both the Spangle Waxcap (Hygrocybe insipida) and Butter Waxcap (Hygrocybe ceracea) as shown above. These can be similar so at first I thought the specimens were one or the other but one was classic H. insipida down to the red at the top of the stipe and another was clearly H. ceracea. Today I found a couple of Fibrous Waxcaps (Hygrocybe intermedia).
