Llyn Llech Owain
Found these beautiful little scalycaps at Llyn Llech Owain today. They were sitting near a clump of Sulphur Tuft which look superficially similar so nearly missed them. I think they are probably The Flaming Scalycap, Pholiota flammans. Brown spore print and the cap went bright red with KOH -(mentioned as a chemical test in www,mushroomexpert.com). Really, really pretty.

Super photos Colin --- Pholiota flammans is a beauty! FRDBI records mainly Scotland and north England but a few from Wales. Completely forgotten that I sent this to K in 1985 from Pembrey forest and Kibby collected this from Pembrey in 1994 (BMS foray). The Postia is also a nice fresh blue ---- quite unusual colour for a fungus.
