Colourful Waxcaps


Most of the waxcaps visible in the pastures at the moment are either white or they are Meadow Waxcaps.

These are different being yellow and smaller than the Meadow Waxcap. I can't identify them positively but the closest match found in the reference book is Hygrocybe langei.

There are several species of waxcaps that appear here; so far this autumn I've not seen the small red ones or the Parrot Waxcap.
