Surprised to see blackening appearing today. Much earlier than I normally see them.

Assorted wax caps from around here nr Lairg though these species were also very common around my last house in Caithness.Many Waxcaps rely on grazing to provide their ideal enviroment and therefore need livestock the yellow and orange ones I photographed in mildly boggy heathland one growing in grass one in moss

I thought the Parrot Waxcaps were over for the year, so a lovely surprise to see these beauties yesterday! Hidden amongst the autumn leaves they glowed vividly in a sudden shaft of sunlight! 🦜🍁🍂

A small collection of waxcaps I've found growing at a nearby ancient wood-pasture site.

I went yesterday in near-torrential rain. When I reached the famed biological hot-spot of Kiberick Cove the low sun sliced through a crack in the slate-grey clouds, illuminating this perfect stand of Blackening (Hygrocybe conica).

I will never tire of scarlet waxcaps (hygrocybe coccinea) - second only to the parrot waxcaps in terms of my favourite hygrocybes? 😁
