[Greg]

Hi there, A whole bunch of this fungi has sprouted on my front lawn and I need help identifying it if you would be so kind.

Any ideas?

What is the width of the cap?

 

[Greg]

Its approx 5-6cm and the stem is approx 8-10cm.

Slimy brightly coloured grassland fungi are called wax caps. They come in a fanstic range of colours. I think think this one is a hygrocybe flavescens

 

[Shewie]

Yeah i`m with Xylaria on this one, definitely a waxcap possibly Hygrocybe ceracea

or maybe Hygrocybe psittacina - parrot waxcap

Thanks guys for the info so far but if anyone else wishes to add some more info that would be great.
