FungiJohn's images on the other hand tend to be astonishingly beautiful and must take a good deal of time and care to get them just right. Here are a couple of examples that I think ought to be in the A-Z list. There will be more but I don't have time to look now.

Scarlet Waxcap - Hygrocybe coccinea



Crimson Waxcap - Hygrocybe punicea

Couldn't agree more and I will do the necessary.

Thanks for all the assistance.

Edited to say all recent verified entries added to A to Z and misfits have been annotated ready for sorting when I have more time. Higher authority has opened a bottle of wine and is clamouring for my company
