It seems we have "Waxcap grasslands" (my current project - see here) in Oxon burial grounds too.
 |
| Golden Waxcap a default - the starting point |
 |
| Parrot Waxcap with greenish-toned, slimy caps and stems |
 |
| Oily Waxcap spot the difference ... plenty of these today |
 |
| Blackening Waxcap or "Witches Hat" a big and very blackened example |
Those mushrooms mostly occur in the Chilterns region on remnants of former common land with acidic soils that survive in some churchyards, and only where there is no use of agri-chemical fertilisers. The following are further indicators of "unimproved grassland" quality.
 |
| Earthy Powdercap |
 |
| Lilac Bonnet |
My thanks are due to James Wainscoat for alerting me to the fungi potential of this site.
