3/11/25 Cumbria - I've always been quite dismissive of descriptions of the white forms of Ballerina #Waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis f. nivalis) because they often fade with time Well that all changed today, this pair of fresh examples almost completely lacking color

2/11/25 Cumbria - Superficially resembling a Ballerina #Waxcap until you check the stipe and underside, the Jubilee Waxcap (Gliophorus reginae) is another rare #fungus with a good deal of charm, though this one is particularly scarce #fungi

#SaturdayMotivation A trio of favourite #mushrooms seen this week. I think the top must be persistent #waxcap given the strength of colour in the gills, middle is a beautiful translucent porcelain #fungi, and bottom; the only wood blewit I've found so far this year. #Lancashire

#Grasslands around the country still jst about looking good, w both long & short still sporting a few blooms! Short grasslands can support valuable species like #clover & #selfheal, longer may have #knapweeds & #scabious! We're just coming into #waxcap season, so keep an eye out!

7/9/25 Lancashire - After a couple of cool mornings and some rain, the sight of the first #waxcap fungi is a welcome sight after a rather miserable summer. Ballerina #Waxcaps (Porpolompsis calyptriformis) are one of the rarer #chegd species, and a find that always makes my day!
