Waxcaps, also known as wax cap fungi, are a fascinating and rare species found in various locations across the United Kingdom. One such place is Annagarriff Wood NNR in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Here, the Pink Wax Cap or Pink Meadow Cap Fungi can be spotted, which is considered to be quite uncommon in the UK. If you're lucky enough to come across these unique mushrooms, formerly known as Hygrocybe calyptraeformis, you'll be treated to a sight that is truly mesmerizing. Picture No. 10887222 captures their vibrant pink coloration beautifully, while Picture No. 10887220 showcases their delicate and intricate structure. Venturing further into Powys, Wales during November may lead you to stumble upon another type of waxcap called the Meadow Waxcap (Hygrocybe pratensis). These fruiting bodies thrive in grasslands and add a touch of enchantment to the landscape. Nottinghamshire's Clumber Park hides a hidden gem among its mossy grounds - the Scarlet Waxcap (Hygrocybe coccinea). Three fruiting bodies can be seen sprouting amidst this lush green carpet in Picture No. 10855319. For those who prefer leaf-strewn habitats like Idle Valley in Nottinghamshire, keep an eye out for the Parrot Waxcap (Hygrocybe psittacina). Two of these striking fungi were discovered nestled amongst fallen leaves and twigs as depicted in Picture No. 10849600. Throughout England's New Forest National Park lies Emery Down where old grazed grassland provides an ideal habitat for Scarlet Waxcaps (Hygrocybe coccinea) to flourish during November. The vivid red hue of these fruiting bodies adds a splash of color against nature's backdrop as showcased by Picture No. 10887212. These captivating wax caps are not only visually stunning but also play an important role in the ecosystem.
