watch out Alantb might be about and he will point out that this is a fungus not a fungi . . .

it appears to have a swollen stem base . . . if there was a sort of bag-like structure there it could be Volvariella gloiocephala (there are other contributors to this forum who know more about these wood-chip 'fellas' than I do - so I stand to be corrected)

cheers
