Silky Rosegill - Volvariella bombycina

Hi,

 

Had a tip off about this fungi. Silky Rosegill - Volvariella bombycina.

 

I won’t pretend to say that I spotted/ID it but thought some of you would appreciate the pictures/link. It was found on a dead beech monolith in an area of ancient semi natural beech/oak woodland. Last spotted some 20 years ago in my neck of the woods.

Nice find Steve, thanks for sharing.

 

bit of a shame there was no opportunity for a shot from above?

Thanks, Had no climbing kit with me when I was in the area but may consider going back when the gills have turned colour.

I found what I think are Silky Rosegills on a dead tree near York today. Am I right?!
