Waxcap summary

I think we've seen the last of them after the frosts last week. Thgis year I recorded 22 spoecies which incidentally would make this a site of International Importance according to Wald and Vesterholt's definition. In addition two species that I always get did not appear, almost certainly due to the dry summer as they are early fruiting. They are the Fibrous and Dingy Waxcaps. Last year I only recorded 18 species and the year before 23 species. Photo - the Pale Waxcap - only one sighting this year.
