Looks like a troop of parot waxcaps ( Hygrocybe psittacina) have appeared,
definately viscid with the classic yellow stem turning green at the top.
Cheers J.P. |

Cheers J.P. | Nice to see Waxcaps at anytime JP 
The Scarlet Waxcap has been seen at Clumber Park every month since last October. These were found close to my home on a grass verge opposite farmland.

I picked up a leaflet from Witley Common the other day - the NT are doing a Waxcap Watch to monitor where they're growing. |

Excellent. In fact, I've never seen H. Psittacina before, I've only ever seen H. Miniata (Minleyata  ) and H. Virginacea |

I think that was always going to be the case John. Remember to remind me to bring my tools...
What? Did you forget that I was going to build you that hut in Clumber? | | |
