Looks good to me Grayling. Nice olive-tan cap, veil about to drop and form a ring and the bulbous stem with a hint of a volva. Nice find. |

It is indeed Amanita citrina, Grayling. |

Hi Grayling. They look like Hygrophorus eburneus, or more commonly known as Ivory Woodwax. They are within the same Hygrophorus genus as yellow and red waxcaps so that is fine to use. We have some which have the tan-brown caps that we saw last week although i'm not sure whether to allow ourselves to use them as they don't show much white on them and don't look like a waxcap, although technically they are. |

Many thanks Dave Bit of a conundrum re the tan ones though but if that's technically what they are then they should be OK - I'd let you use them

Dave is this a Deathcap? I tried to dig it out a bit, it was very deep in leaf litter and moss and I broke it off at the base. It was the green colour that drew my attention. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Ooh thanks Dave, that's made me very happy. ![]() That's the first time I've found one on my own. I don't expect you to remember, but I went on a fungi foray with a load of people a couple of years ago, and didn't really enjoy it because the fungi were being picked and then shown to the few people who happened to be close. I just happened to be close to him at that time and I saw a Death Cap for the first time that year, being held by the leader, so I never had the chance to see where and how it grew. I went back to the same wood last week and searched and searched and eventually found this just before I headed back to the car, it was the colour that I got quite excited about. ![]() I've just had a thought Dave, are there any other fungi that size that are green? |

Thanks Grayling....i will definitely use it then. Hi Marg. I remember it well Marg and that you weren't that impressed as to how the foray leader approached it. I don't think there are any fungi with that olive-tan/green cap, especially with it having a veil/ring stem and a bulbous base enclosed in a veil. There are a few cortinarius types that can resemble a Death Cap in terms of colour but not in terms of an Amanita's external characteristics.....hope that all makes sense

sort of Dave. I'm still on a very steep learning curb though. I've got quite a few good books, but to be honest it's sometimes hard to compare what you see in the flesh so to speak, against what you see in print, and after searching though any books the eyes start to get a bit ![]() I do love this time of the year though, you never know what fungi you might come see. Having said that Julie and I were out this morning at the wood where I saw some Collared Earth Stars last year, so I was hoping we might see at least one today, but we didn't see any at all, come to that we didn't see very much fungi at all, still it was a lovely walk, made quite interesting when we got a bit lost.

Hi Ann. It look more like an Inocybe type to me, rather than a Hygrocybe (Waxcap) i'll have a go at an id on the Inocybe when we return home over the weekend. |

No worries, Ann. It's a tricky business isn't it Marg, so many variables and nothing is ever easy

Post 1692 Jane. I can't quite make out enough on the gills to tell whether it is a Lactarius or Chanterelle sp i'm afraid. |
