| | | Lepiota
Can someone help out with this Lepiota (Macrolepiota/Chlorophylum). No change in colour when cut growing with Pine (or conifer of some sort) 
Thanks

Different ain't it !!
The only one I can think of Mal is Macrolepiota puellaris.

Thanks for that it looks a good match macroscopically. I will get the microscope fired up in the morning.

Ps I assume you meant Leucoagaricus nympharum

Is that what it's called now ? as I've never heard of L.nympharum.

Hopefully without being a pain in the bum, may I ask what it is about those cheilocystidia that makes them so accurate for ID of this species? Is it the shape?  |

Good news it was in Yorkshire Castle Howard to be precise.
Nick
At first I thought it might be a pale version of Lepiota(Chlorophyllum) Macrolepiota procera or rachodes. Once Neil pointed me at Macrolepiota puellaris I checked the cystidia and they were totally the wrong shape and size for any of the other Macrolepiota. Which is probably why it has now been moved to Leucoagaricus. With a look at the spores I became convinced that was the species so off it went to Kew. Rare in the UK but a few of the finds have been in Yorkshire.
