Come and be part of a global voice for wild plants and fungi
Plantlife’s No Mow May Movement is back for 2026 – help nature and let your lawn grow this May and beyond!
Meadows have shaped our history and culture for centuries, yet most have been lost – and the precious few that remain are still at risk. But there is hope, with your support we can protect what’s left and restore so much more.
Will you help protect our national treasures?
Our corporate partners benefit from 35 years of experience in nature restoration so they can achieve real impact.

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.
Unfortunately we don’t have a page on that species yet, but we’re always adding new species of plants, fungi and lichens, so make sure to check back again soon! In the meantime, why not explore some of the other species we have?
