Hygrocybe astatogala R.Heim ex. Heinem (Syn. Bertrandia astatogala) This is known as a “blackening” waxgill. It is difficult to see amongst the leaf litter. It starts off as a yellowish, orange-red or greenish colour under the black fibrils but goes almost completely black with age or if bruised. Cap diam: up to 35 mm. This is possibly a complex of several species but further molecular studies are required. |
