Hygrocybe
Hygrocybe is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Called waxcaps in English (sometimes waxy caps in North America), basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are often brightly coloured and have dry to waxy caps, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems.

Genws o ffwng corff hadol yn nheulu'r Hygrophoraceae yw'r Capiau cwyr (Lladin: Hygrocybe; Saesneg: waxcaps). Maen nhw'n lliwgar iawn fel arfer a chanddynt gapiau sgleiniog fel cwyr, gyda golwg seimllyd, sborau gwyn a bonion llyfn heb gylchoedd arnyn nhw. Yn Ewrop maent i'w canfod ar dir sâl, diffrwyth a gwelltiroedd heb eu datblygu, ond mae'r cynefinoedd hyn yn prinhau ac mae pryder am ddyfodol y capiau cwyr. Ar y ddaear mae'r rhan fwyaf i'w cael a chysylltir nhw efo mwsogl. Credir bod tua 150 ohonynt i gyd drwy'r byd. Mae rhannau o rai rhywogaethau'n fwytadwy gan bobl a gwerthir nifer ohonynt mewn marchnadoedd.

Hygrocybe is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Called waxcaps in English (sometimes waxy caps in North America), basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are often brightly coloured and have dry to waxy caps, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems.
In Europe waxcaps are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making many Hygrocybe species of conservation concern. Nine of these waxcap-grassland species, Hygrocybe aurantiosplendens, H. citrinovirens, H. intermedia, H. mucronella, H. punicea, H. quieta, H. spadicea, H. splendidissima, and H. subpapillata, are assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Elsewhere waxcaps are more typically found in woodlands. Most are ground-dwelling and all are believed to be biotrophs. Around 150 species are recognized worldwide. Fruit bodies of several species are considered edible and are sometimes sold in local markets.
