Phylum: Basidiomycota Family: Hygrophoraceae
Cuphophyllus pratensis var. pratensis (Fr.) Bon
Meadow waxcap
One of the commonest waxcaps on unimproved pasture and aptly named. Another common name in use that I particularly like is salmon waxcap because the young fruiting-bodies are salmon or peach coloured. They fade with age and often acquire a crazed surface. The fungus is dry and has gills running down the stipe (decurrent - more obvious in older specimens).
