Meadow Waxcap - Cuphophyllus pratensis

The 3 to 8 cm cap is a tawny, apricot or pinky-orange colour, with a dry. smooth texture, with gills and stipe a couple of shades lighter. The gills are decurrent (running down the stem) and in older specimens the gills are darker and may be the same colour as the cap. 

Some Funnels (Clitocybe) have a similar shape and colour, but gills are more crowded

Your notes should describe the texture (slimy/sticky/greasy/dry?) of cap and stipe; photograph from side, showing gills, and top

Mown or grazed unimproved/semi-improved grasslands, including pastures and close-mown grasslands in churchyards, parks and cemeteries

Late summer and autumn

Infrequent but widespread in Britain.

Occasional in Leicestershire and Rutland.
