Fascinating, I've never seen anything like this. The link to the description is very thorough and interesting. I suppose I would eat it.

Fascinating! They almost look like wax. Not sure I'd want to eat it, but your capture is excellent.

All fungi are edible once, not all of them give you a second chance ;-)

We also get hygrocybes here and it is always a treat to see them. Love this image of them nestled into the moss. V

I like the rib patterns. Are you going to risk eating them?
