Death Caps??

[Tom Mabbutt]

Found today in mixed Oak and Hornbeam woodland, in South Norfolk. I think they're contenders for being Death Caps, but not totally sure. I didn't have the balls to touch it, and it didn't think it was fair to knock it over to get some better gill-photo-action. Had a good sniff of the cap and I couldn't put my finger on the smell; faint but a little unusual - not like raw potatoes (which I think the False Death Cap smells like).

ps First picture is over-exposed, the cap in that picture was darker 'in the flesh'.

Think I would have them down as death caps. Was once violently ill from eating unidentified fungi I collected with some field mushrooms. Took me a long time to ever face eating fungi again.
