Hygrocybe citrinovirens
Find these distinctive waxcaps in low-nutrient grassland habitats – they are equally at home in upland sheep-grazed pastures as they are in urban cemeteries with mown grass.
There are several other species of yellow waxcaps in the UK – keep an eye out for the light yellow or almost green tinge of this species.
The Latin name “citrinovirens” comes from “citrinus” meaning lemon yellow, and “virens”, meaning green!
These are both good descriptions of the colour of this waxcap species.
