Lawn mushrooms for id

[thelawnet]

I stepped on these on my lawn. I guess the rain has woken them.

Front and back of a mushroom:



Is this the same species? The other is flat, this is more of an umbrella shape. First picture is stem, then top and bottom of cap

Hello,

although the fotos are not exactly what I would call brilliant, a determination is in my opinion possible in this case: You have Russula vesca in your garden. Acc. to Wikipedia it is called "Bare-toothed Russula" or "The Flirt".
As this fungus lives symbiotic with trees, there must be a tree in up to 20 meters distance to the fruitbodies.

best regards,
Andreas

Thanks. We have oak trees lining the street (on the pavement in front of the lawn). Nearest woodland is birch woodland 100m away or so.

There are some more young fruits emerging, with purplish caps, from the ground.

The id seems a good one - it is apparently especially found other oaks, and the stipe is indeed very brittle.

We have a fresh crop:



Unfortunately they have been partly eaten by something, they look quite fresh.
