Hygrocybe/waxcap photo day 39: Dirty but still beautiful! Waxcaps grow in dark soil in the wet season, which can make taking pretty photographs of them challenging. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Hygrocybe/waxcap photo day 38: Back to the special “apricot” patch. You can tell how obsessed I am with these particular waxcaps, I have more photos of them than any other mushroom, period. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Hygrocybe/waxcap photo day 62: a greenie, that looks like an insect on the side but it’s just a piece of dirt. As I previously mentioned, waxcaps love to grow in dark mud/dirt!

I'm working on a batch of client mini mushrooms and wanted to get some practice in - so I did this one of Parrot Waxcaps (that I haven't done before).

This one is available: nimasprout.shop/products/par...
