Many of the Gliophorus do fruit well late in the season (often into Jan) so may even pop up again this season ☺️

Ooh second one definitely looks like a good contender for sciophanus/perplexus aff. Fabulous photos!

Grows on Glue Crust yep, another fab species!

Ive heard folks mention it's a complex, but not seen anything published around that? Makes sense as it has very variable macro features.

Definitely worth checking, have you had frosts down South?
November 24, 2025 at 10:14 AM
Aye a lovely species! I don't know too many sites for them up here either.

Looks good! Unfortunately iRecord and FRDBI currently synonymises with H. conica. iNat the best place to record it as cinereifolia at the moment. These will then be automatically transferred to iRecord.

I use Blackening as the English name for all of them if one's needed. Blackening Waxcap species complex. Maybe they'll be given English names when the complex is fully described.

Is the gill attachment in alboviscidus as variable as in irrigatus?

This was my first time seeing it. However, the image Steve Hindle uses for radiatus seems to match the variation seen in your specimens. Not sure what the current status is of rosaescens sorry!

Ooh, that looks like it could be the newly described G. alboviscidus. @clareblencowe.bsky.social ?
