Waxcaps (Hygrocybe spp. ss. Boertman 1995 and Camarophyllopsis spp.) in Flanders (northern Belgium) are studied at the base of field work, herbaria, literature data and miscellaneous observations. At present, since 1970, only 24 Hygrocybe species, 4 varieties and 2 Camarophyllopsis spp. are known to occur in the studied area. In particular, waxcap grasslands with more than 10 species are very rare. A preliminary red data list of this group includes 21 species : 5 are considered "critically endangered", 3 as "endangered", 7 as "vulnerable" and 6 as "susceptible". Furthermore, two species are considered as "probably extinct" in the area.
