This is now a rare species in Britain. Its main habitats include lawns, grassy meadows, pastures and woodland margins. It has been recorded from both limestone grassland and acidic grassland. Fruiting bodies, which are seldom abundant, generally appear between August and October. They have attractive pointed caps 5-7 cm tall and a white or pinkish stem up to 10 cm tall. Being a conspicuous species, it is thought that it may be better recorded than other waxcap fungi. |
