Just found this one KT- must've missed it first time round. I think it's safe to say the this is Volvariella bombycina- an uncommon beauty. |

I would assume that it's within the wood it's growing from. There are velar remnants on the cap too.
What else could it possibly be?

I agree about the vellar remains but I can find no photo nor any description that mentions hairs on the stipe above the usually large and long lasting volval bag.

Didn't realise the volval bag was renowned for its size. Fair point about the hairs too- it's late 
I think we can discount Collybia maculata though |

tut tut Nick, after all the lectures you have been giving to keenteen just lately about presenting facts and no wild guesses here you are "assuming" something !
i think a days ban from foraying is in order here as punishment  |

Educated guess my friend, an educated guess  |

Don't make a point of it It was not a blind assumption, like we see sometimes. I wouldn't call them lectures either, and I don't think KT would either, just information that is needed to get a decent ID. | | | |
