Hygrocybe
Tapered Saftling ( Hygrocybe conica )
The wax caps ( Hygrocybe ) is a fungal genus in the family Schneck Ling relatives. The vitreous due to wax-like meat, they are also referred to as the glass heads. Several species stand out with happy colored fruiting bodies. They usually prefer nutrient-poor sites, which is why they are used as indicator species for the quality assessment of biotopes. All wax caps are in Germany under protection.
The type species is the Taper Saftling ( Hygrocybe conica ).
Features
Ecology
The species of the genus are usually inhabitants of grasslands, particularly nutrient-poor meadows and pastures, grasslands are populated, some species inhabit upland moors, peat moss or moss. With high probability, the wax caps are Saprobionten, possibly also symbionts with plants. Most species are specialized on nutrient- poor, mostly quite dry habitats fungi that are sensitive to nutrient inputs, intensive grazing and (especially mineral) fertilization and then die at the affected site often.

System
The wax caps include about 150 species worldwide, of which occur in Europe around 40. The genus is divided into two subgenera with different sections.
The species of the section Glutinosae are now separated because of other color pigments and new phylogenetic insights into the genus mucus wax caps ( Gliophorus ). Likewise, the Rose Red Saftling was spun in the genus Porpolomopsis. Previously the Ellerlinge were assigned to the juice Lingen as a subgenus Cuphophyllus. However, they now form a separate genus because they are related, despite the similar-looking fruiting bodies did not dwell on the species.

Importance
All wax caps are in Germany under protection, thus the edible species are not in question as edible mushrooms. The wax caps are in conservation as an important indicator species of importance, they show by their appearance, the presence of valuable, nutrient-poor, largely undisturbed meadows and dry grasslands companies to.
Endangering
The wax caps are generally residents of nutrient-poor grasslands, through the conversion of grasslands and pastures in nutrient poor profit rich grassland and the input of nutrients from the air or from adjacent agricultural land, many species in Central Europe are endangered. For Danish Saftling occurrence (after Gminder as applicable for Germany ) following meanings classification of Saftling deposit was made: sites with 17 to 32 Saftling species as a whole, while a single control 11 to 20 species of nature conservation of national importance, of regional importance are sites with 9 to 16 (during a commission of 6 to 10 ) species of local importance those with 4-8 ( 3-5 ) species, while sites with only 1-3 species are rather insignificant.
