| | | Can anyone identify this fungi?
Cen anyone tell me what this fungi is?
It was growing on the edge of a cow field in North Devon (adjacent to woodland). The caps are approx. 10cm diameter. You will see from the photos that the cap surface is smooth (it is also peelable). They smell like normal eating mushrooms (and taste similar too) but the underside is cream coloured. The base of the stalks are bulbous.
Thanks in advance    |

I thought at first they might be Volvariella gloiocephala,but the gills dont look right. Was there any sign of a volva at the base of the stem?

Next to woods? Might be Clouded Agaric Lepista nebularis (Clitocybe nebularis) |

The cap margin is normally inrolled on C.nebularis, and the flesh is thicker. Happy foraging.

No can't help, but anything with white gills and a thick stem I avoid.
Max.

Well that rules out Volvariella then. Hmm...At least it's getting narrowed down.
