Fungi for ID please

[pressld2]

Found these growing in my back lawn today...



Height about 4 cm, cap diameter about 1.5 cm. I'm wondering if it's an inkcap species.

I'm nowhere near an expert - but it looks like some sort of inkcap to me...

I've got something growing on the drive that I need identifying! Can anyone help me please?







thanks

looks to be an Agaricus of some sort, would not like to say which one though

If this was an Inkcap, I think the process of autodigestion would have ensued at this stage of maturity (hell yeah ).

Quite an 'off the wall' suggestion, but in my experience, Bolbitius titubans loses all yellow hue and crisps up when dry and dehydrated. The gills are rather dark, but again I've found this to be the case with old specimens. The stipe looks coarse which is a noticeable characteristic of the species and they'll most certainly grow happily on the lawn.

Not a diagnosis by all means, just a suggestion Second opinions would be excellent!

there have been lots of similar ones to this in my lawn this week, which turned out to be Panaeolus foenisecii, not so sure about this one though, it does look a little different

The stipe and the way the cap is drooping rings out B. titubans for me. According to Phillips, the gills turn 'cinnamon to rust brown' with age. These lawn species aren't ha;f a pain in the posterior!

I love mushrooms

Thanks for your help fellas!

I think Brian is probably correct as I photographed this one at the same time...



... which is obviously a Brown Mottlegill - Panaeolus foenisecii. I just assumed that I was looking at two different species.

I think this is an old Conocybe apala (lactea).
