Hi,

can anyone help put a name to this one for me. Growing in small groups of one to four fruit bodies in the litter under a conifer wood. Caps up to 30mm across tallest example C. 90mm. Very shaggy/scaly on cap and stem.

Thanks

Steve

Probably worth looking at Inocybe, and that's as far as I'll go.

Cheers Nick,

I'd looked at a few ie. I. lacera and I. longicystis (the best match macroscopically to my eye), but as far as I'm concerned Inocybes are pretty much guesswork.
