Despite the husband looking like he was regretting his life choices, 13 waxcap species makes our little fungi jaunt a success in my book! 😂🍄

Better yet, five new species for me: Persistent, Honey, Oily, Heath and Earthy. I’ll get better at #CHEGD ID eventually… 😂

7/10/26 #Cumbria - Today’s find was one of my highlights of the year so far. The Date Waxcap (Hygrocybe spadicea) is one of the UK’s rarest #chegd fungi and one that is notoriously difficult to nail down. Hopefully will come across some better examples next time…
