Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

I suppose shrooms rarely 'fit the mould'

 

So do people .

On top of this mornings nursery imports here are a few of todays other bits....

 

 

Hygrocybe marchii in short cut grass

Amanita muscaria with Pine

Maybe Volvariella speciosa in long grass near Horse chestnut.

& maybe Conocybe sp on mulch.

The volvariellas are a distinct clade, dont know if volvas degrad on some species at an especialy increased rate to fruit body degradation but yours havent even opened up, no volva, no speciosa.

 

but im just assuming, you know them better than me on your site:thumbup:

David,

1. ... with Entoloma sericeum among them

2. If the gills first are pink and then turn to dark brown, it's an Agaricus species : smell, bruising reddish or yellow ? Or with white gills and white spores, this could be a Leucoagaricus species.

3. Psathyrella conopilus
