Any help on identifying these? They are from my front lawn, a sunny spot on what looks like the edge of a large fairy ring. Picked about 20 today (26/4) ranging from 1" to approx 4" across.
Are they edible?  |

Possibly Calocybe gambosa - St Gerges Mushroom, but as I've only ever seen and eaten specimens from one collection found by JP at Greenham Common earlier this year I would suggest a second opinion, at the very least, before popping them in the pan.

Look like Calocybe gambosa to me too- I'd await a third opinion.

Looks like all the features of Calocybe gambosa ( St Georges Mushroom) to me, saw quite a few troops of them today.
