| | | fairy ring champignon? Noticed Tim's recent picture
Looks similar to this one taken in Nov on the Isle of Wight.
Do you think it's the same and do you know what it is? We wondered if it was a Fairy ring champignon |

| | | Re: fairy ring champignon? It might be Marasmius oreades as you suggest, but without a gill shot, we can't be sure. The attachment in the gills in this example is key in working out whether you have Marasmius oreades or something different such as Hygrocybe pratensis, which is also a possibility. |

| | | Re: fairy ring champignon? Hallo,
the first pictures shows without any doubt a Winter Twiglet (Tubaria heimalis, or Tubaria furfuracea for those how prefer to unite the two species).
The second picture shows either a Fariy Ring Champignon, or a Buffcap. It looks more like the second to me, but it would be very astonishing if a Buffcap woud grow in a meadow consisting mainly of Poa annua. So can you tell me, whether you photographed the 2nd one just at the place where you found it or removed it from the site for the foto? And did it grow in a fairy ring?
best regards,
Andreas

| | | Re: fairy ring champignon? Ooops, Nick was faster, as I was slow in writing, due to my daughter disturbing me 
But nice to see that we have the very same thoughts
best regards,

Andreas | no I didn't move it - photo shows it still growing. There was only the one,which made me doubtful about my guess at id. It was on the downs on Isle of Wight in November. Some of the gills only went part way down towards the stem (sure there's a technical term for this!).

2) M. oreades without a doubt  | Sorry KT
Oreades almost always has a distinct umbo when it reaches this stage. So I would give a vote for H. pratensis

cheers Petalouthi | Hallo Petalouthi,
can you look at the plate, figure 8 the right cut fruitbody: Did the attachement of the gills look like the right half of this fruitbody or like the left part of it?
best regards,
Andreas
