NEW WAXCAP SPECIES!!! - Earthy Waxcap

The first time I have seen this Waxcap Species and I found it right here at The Beeches. The Earthy Waxcap (Cuphophyllus fornicatus) is quite distinctive and the ID has been confirmed. That makes it Species #23 (counting var Pallida as a Species) or #24 if the probable Vitellinus was counted. The question is how much of the extraordinary species count here is due to the fact that I visit it daily as opposed purely to the fungi value of the site.
