Doh, I missed that. Cheers ,Roy. 😳

The council has mowed the grass this morning! Its a regular shower, so I’ll look for some young specimens to observe this, although I think the other characters support the ID, unless anyone thinks I got it wrong

That was a month ago though Roy and I have trouble remembering what I came up stairs for these days let alone what happened that long ago

Inocybe erubescens found under Beech. Nearly all my records for this species are in June or early July.

Not much to be found around here at the moment but did spot a nice Orange Mosscap – Rickenella fibula

Abortiporus biennis (I think) growing on an old tree stump. Another county first, unless I got me ID wrong

Looks spot on to me Adam. Nice find!

Typical growth of the fruitbodies, around and completely encircling blades of grass.

Last time I saw any A.biennis was back in 2009, when I came across this fairly small but fresh example: –

Found yesterday – Hygrocybe vitellina : –

A small, rather uncommon species. – (Certainly in my area – I’ve only ever seen them at this one site).

These are some of the front-runners of a small patch which reliably appear year after year on a shady woodland bank (under a Holly bush!), rather than the typical (for the species) unimproved grassland habitat described in books.

“In the field” they can be reliably differentiated from other bright yellow Waxcaps by the viscid dome shaped and lightly grooved caps, viscid stipes, and permanently rich yellow arcuate-decurrent gills which have clear gelatinous-sticky edges. (Easily seen with a x10 hand-lens).

Amanita crocea in Rosedale today in a deciduous wood, with birch, wych elm, sycamore and ash nearby. Seems pretty uncommon in NE Yorkshire (could only find 2 records on the Frdbi), and a first for me. Was out with the botany group and they were impressed by its good looks! As was I.

Hi welcome to the post WAB party.

Amazing photo of Hygrocybe vitellina, Mike, great colours!

Calocera cornea (Small Stagshorn) in spectacular display today. On fallen oak, I think.
