Found rings around Lime Trees

[FungiJohn]

Clumber Park was excellent today. Oyster and Chicken of the Woods were in great numbers as were many pluteus, especially umbrosus.

Returning by Lime Tree Avenue I found several rings of this species around several Limes. I've brought a few home for further investigation (not the Lime trees Nick ) Here it is



All comments much appreciated

Thanks Stewy I'm sure I should know what they are

I'm torn between going for a pint or peering down the microscope

I would agree with you Neil - typical Agrocybe praecox

Interesting that you mention Oyster mushrooms. I found a load down south at the weekend and they weren't there last Monday. I find that in spring they often fruit after a cold front has past over - i.e. a change to cooler conditions after the first real warm spell of the spring, and this is what has happened recently.
