Waxcap #18 - Butter Waxcap

The last one recorded this year. Disappoining compared to last year's total of 24 but fungi are like that; not at all predictable. The Butter Waxcap (Hygrocybe ceracea) can be mistaken for a small Golden Waxcap or ideed any of the small yellowish ones but a combination of the texture of the cap, and the broadly attached, usually pale yellow gills serve to distinguish it.
