Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca?

[Morchella]

At first I thought these were Hygrocybe nivalis but the gills are all wrong so I wondered whether they might be the pale version of Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca? I can't seem to persuade it to produce a spore print on black paper (unless the spores are black of course but seems unlikely given the gill colour).







They were growing in a very exposed location at the top of a cliff with lots of rabbit activity all around so the grass and thrift was cropped very close.

Grateful for any help.

Hello,

I don't believe in Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca. I rather think it is a Clitocybe, but have no name for it.

best regards,

Ah, fooled by a Clitocybe again. Must have a look through the records to see what it might be.

Thanks for the tip
