Tuesday at the N.B.G.W. around the outside of the Great Glasshouse - these Blackening Waxcaps were spotted and identified by Jan Crowden. There must have been a dozen in various states of 'Nigrescence'- the old name seems to be more descriptive I think.
Names of fungi are 'regulated' and conica takes priority over nigrescens unfortunatesly, although both descriptions 'fit'!
ReplyDeleteA backing waxcap was also recorded in Molinia grassland at the recorders day at Ynysdawela Nature Park last Thursday.
