Anston Stones Wood - grassland 21 Sept 2008

Uncultivated grassland on limestone
Found several groups growing under silver birch trees, where many trees had been cleared, with stumps and roots remaining.

I did wonder if they are all immature and will develop further. I will check them out next weekend. Otherwise I can not find anything that looks remotely like these images.

25 - 50mm across 25mm high
Mushroomy smell

Your comments and observations welcomed

Clavulina cinerea may be a good starting point.

Cheers J.P.

Thanks Neil and JP for your suggestion.

I did consider this, but could not find any reference to a yellow base. I will have to keep an eye on it to see what develops.

If you would like some company, Neil, I would be pleased to show you around.
