Hi Happyhare. I don't think it is a Waxcap. Was the cap slimy because of dew/water on it or was it a dry day or night previously? |

It was a dry morning but could very well be dew or from rain the night before. It was near a fir tree. Where is the best place to look for wax caps as I don't think I've ever seen any

Hi Happyhare. I will keep looking for your fungi and thanks for the added info. The best place to look for waxcaps is in grazed pastures, especially where sheep and cows/cattle use. The do have a certain Mycorhhizal relation with some trees so if you can find a pasture that is close to a woodland then that would be your best bet. You can find other waxcaps, such as Blackening waxcap and Hygrocybe chlorophana associated with pine trees and sand dunes but pastures or any area of short cut grass are the places to look first. Hi Stu. 1. Is a type of Mycena (Bonnet fungi) 2. I would tend to agree with Calocera cornea 3. Not sure yet 4. Chicken of the woods |
