Posted on 18 October 2010 by David Blackening waxcap The cap of this mushroom is a more or less gelatinous cinnamon yellow-brown when it first emerges, with somewhat paler stem and gills. It then turns black. The rim of the cap of this one gives some hint of the richness of the original colour. Post navigationPrevious post: Panther capNext post: Larch bolete
