Waxcap #14 Cedarwood Waxcap (Cuphophyllus russocoriaceus)

I've recorded a lotof Snowy Waxcaps this year and also a lot of the very similar Cedarwood Waxcaps- the main difference is the smell although the latter has more beigy colour in the cap than the more pure white Snowy.

Waxcap #13 - Honey Waxcap

Also in the East Field where most of the fungi action is taking place. One of the best the very cute Honey Waxcap with its bright orange look usually with a thin yellow margin on the crenullated cap - and it smells of honey.

Waxcap #12 - Scarlet Waxcap

All of a sudden popping up in numbers. A little later than expected and therefore contemperaneous with the Crimson Waxcap which usually comes later.

Waxcap #11 - Crimson Waxcap (Hygrocybe punicea)

Good to see this impressive Waxcap gradullay spreading here - I found three fruit

ing bodies in a slightly different place to where there was just one last year.

New Species - Field Horsetail

These are apparently not welcome in gardens or fields but this little patch is hanging out of one of our walls so I think I can leave it. They are technically leafless and non-flowering so a bit of an oddity in the plant world.

Waxcap #10 - Spangle Waxcap

The Waxcaps are definitely coming through now - Hygrocybe insipida is fruiting in the East Field. I have seen it in August before but most of the Waxcaps are fruiting significantly later than usual.

Waxcap #9 - Snowy Waxcap

All the fungi coming up seems to be in the East Field at the moment. Included in today's showing is the next Waxcap - the Snowy Waxcap - distinguished from the Cedarwood Waxcap mainly by smell (or lack of it).
