Young fungal fruiting bodtly amoungst some Scott's pines. Wasn't there a week or so ago.

 

Rowen,

Phaeolus schweinitzii.

Could be, although I expected T. versicolor to be more velvety and not so hairy.

Some help identifying this would be greatly appreciated. Found under a group of about 20/30 yr old sycamore, hawthorn and Chestnut on an island in a pretty dark little copse that is surrounded by intensive agriculture. The cap on the right must be about 40-45cm across.

Because of the tree species mentioned, this can't be a mycorrhizal symbiont.

With pink gills turning dark brown after ripening of the chocolate brown spores ? If so, a champignon, i.e. an Agaricus species.

Thanks Fungus. It looks out of place. I was struggling to find any Agaricus that associate with trees and looked anything like this, so discounted it. I think that this area was heavily landscaped when the planting and lake were done. I can get a spore print as its close by.

 

I hope it comes again now I know its there. It's an impressive size.

 

Thanks again.
