Green, pink, red and white are just some of the colours you can see in the diverse range of fungi known as waxcaps. These are some I’ve found during recent fungi-seeking forays.

Parrot waxcap (Gliophorus psittacinus)

Pink waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis), also known as the ballerina, for the tutu-like appearance of its spread cap as it dances in the grass

Scarlet waxcap (Hygrocybe coccinea)

Snowy waxcap (Cuphophyllus virgineus)
