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)
