Waxy Caps - Hygrocybe sp.

These mushrooms were small: 2-3 cm tall. Caps were conical and red with yellow centers. They were slightly fuzzy with what looked like white hairs. Stipes were similar to the cap in color. The gills were yellow and widely spaced.

Habitat: They were growing on the ground in a mixed forest, but in an area with lots of oak.

    I'm envious! I haven't gotten nearly enough hiking in since "the incident." LOL!
    
    I plan on hiking alone again tomorrow or Wednesday, but I haven't chosen a location yet. I got a bit panicky on my solo hike last week as there were lots of "waspy" locations (so many hollowed out stumps)! Posted 7 years ago

      Aww! Hope you can get out soon. I canceled my hike today because I have too much to do. Hopefully I'll find some good stuff in Maine later this week! Posted 7 years ago
