looks like fairy ring champignon to me - marasmius rotula

Out of interest KT, what makes you say this? I'm very interested how you reached that conclusion with no shots of macroscopic features like gills, stipe, smell, taste et-cetera! It's the wrong colour for starters!

By the way, you mean Marasmius oreades I presume

[KeenTeen17]

sorry got the rotula bit wrong. I havent been in the books recently I thought M. oreades because the mushrooms in the photo look very similar to a patch near me. The ones near me went this colour when old and waterlogged, also the caps went the shape that they do in the photo.

Well you may well be right KT but it's always a good idea to add information like this in your original ID answer post!

[KeenTeen17]

all right - will do better from now on

[NickCantle]

Not a case of doing better old chum- you're doing very well. I admire your enthusiasm Just best to include the info in the initial post as to 'educate' the thread owner as to how you reached your conclusion.
