| | | Waxcap ids and confirmations I believe these are all waxcaps/Hygrocybe but that's as far as I've got! Can anyone narrow them down a bit for me please.
The first two were growing in grass near a beach on the Solent a couple of
weeks ago. I think the first may be Blackening Wax-cap Hygrocybe nigrescens
And these were in a coniferous wood this week

The first two are Hygrocybe nigricans(now conica) the third is I think a Deceiver Laccaria and the last not sure but I don't think it is a waxcap.

| | | Re: Waxcap ids and confirmations 1) hygrocybe conica -as mal said
2) the deceiver
the third one looks like a washed out version of the deceiver. I think so because of the frays / frills on the base of the cap of both mushrooms |

| | | Re: Waxcap ids and confirmations Thanks for your help and ids.
Keenteen - are you saying no. 2 is the same as no.1 like Mal or the deceiver?

| | | Re: Waxcap ids and confirmations I think the last is Gymnopilus penetrans - The Pine needles around it back up the substrate issue. |
