I found a small group of these next to a very busy road/footpath on a river bank. Growing in bare earth. Couldn't photograph them in situ. Hope these are clear. Cap is about 30mm across.

Maybe tricholoma?

Thanks.

I am thinking pholiota squarrosa

A little ambitious KT, but the cap pattern is similar. I've had good word that this is probably Tricholoma- the dark gill edges may be typical of a species that I've not seen.

[KeenTeen17]

actually I agree. with nick sorry for confusion

[BROCSMAN]

Thanks for the feedback.

When I first saw it I thought Pholiota too - but it seems to key out to Tricholoma. White spore print by the way. Two candidate species (I've only seen in photos) might be Pardinum or Atrosquamosum.

hi

I think you are very close with atrosquamosum that dark gill edge is very distinctive (you get that feature in T. sciodes as well, but your find is definitely not that)

Thanks Chris

This is new territory for me. I'm pleased to have got so close.
