MEADOW WAXCAP : Hygrocybe pratensis
There appear to be variations or at least different interpretations of identity within this name of MEADOW WAXCAP.
Josephine Bacon describes them as apricot to salmon coloured. Bell shaped at first flattening to hemispherical in older specimens, plattening when mature. In ours the cap has become inverted, but the other traits are applicable.
Evidently edible (we reiterate our warnings), but little substance.
