Waxcaps are my favourite fungi but they can be difficult to identify. Sometimes the colour helps, but there are several species of a reddish-orange hue. As these have quite a coarse upper surface on the caps, I thought at first that they might be Fibrous waxcaps (Hygrocybe intermedia) but, as these were at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, I’m wondering if they might be Hygrocybe calciphilia, which are smaller and grow on calcareous grassland. I really need to check their features more thoroughly in future. What I do know for sure is how lovely they are!

Those are a lovely color.
Yes, pretty little things. Thanks. 🙂
I do love fungi photos 🙂 Very nice.
Thank you kindly. 🙂
I have no idea, other than I think they look very good.
That’ll do me. 🙂
