Heaths

Vermilion Waxcap

Information
Additional Notes: 

Distinguished from other red Hygrocybes by the dry, scurfy cap.

The Blusher

Information
Additional Notes: 
A rather distinctive member of the Amanita family due to its bruising nature. The variation Amanita rubescens var. Annulosulphurea is very similar to The Blusher but has a sulphur yellow tinge.

Scaly Earthball

Information
Additional Notes: 

Inedible.

Purple Swamp Brittlegill

Information
Additional Notes: 
Identification pointer: Note in the main image "the very obvious 'bleeding'/continuation of the red colour from the pileus onto the gill edges along the margin" (Ref: Nick Legon from WAB Forum) Also note the excellent depiction of interveined gills in the third image (Ref: Rob Sutton from WAB Gallery)

Pestle Puffball

Information
Additional Notes: 

Macroscopically polymorphic, thus has acquired a long list of synonyms (see Kriesel 1989). (Re: The BC)

Cinnamon Navel

Information
Additional Notes: 

Occasional but widespread.
