Hygrocybe spadicea is a
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
Taxonomy
The species was first described from Carniola (present-day Slovenia) in 1772 by naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli as Agaricus spadiceus. Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten transferred it to the genus Hygrocybe in 1879.

Description
Distribution and habitat
The Date Waxcap is widespread but generally rare throughout Europe. It has also been reported from Central Asia (Kazakhstan), but its identification has not been confirmed.[1] Like other waxcaps, it occurs in old, agriculturally unimproved, short-sward grassland (pastures and lawns).
Recent research suggests waxcaps are neither
saprotrophic but may be associated with mosses.[5]
Conservation
Hygrocybe spadicea is typical of
red lists of threatened fungi in several European countries, including Croatia,[6] Czech Republic,[6] Denmark,[7] Estonia (where it is listed as "extinct"),[6] Finland,[6] Germany,[8] Great Britain,[9] Norway,[6] and Sweden.[6]
