Hi,

Was wondering if this could be Lyophyllum decastes [I'm aware that may prove an umbrella term for several species]. Was found clumping on grassland in an urban park.

Gills - white, sinuate

Stipe - Fibrous, white/tawny

Pileus - Conical,brownish/grey, darker fibres visible.

Odour - Unremarkable

Apologies for the shot, light was quickly dimming.

cheers, Simon.

Yes, Lyophyllum sp. and labelling them Lyophyllum decastes is probably as near as you will get, because of the lack of clarity in how to separate the various species.
