description Snowy Waxcap Overview
Hygrocybe virginea, commonly called the snowy waxcap, is a small white mushroom associated with unimproved grassland and other nutrient-poor habitats. Its cap and gills have the waxy texture characteristic of many waxcaps, and the fruiting body is often almost entirely white. The species is recorded in Europe and other regions, but its presence in grassland does not by itself establish edibility or make identification safe without expert examination.
