Hi one and all,

A big brown job, on grass, with Quercus and Prunus.

Cap (largest) 14 cm, with broad, dark umbo. Smell strong, fragrant, hint of chlorine. Gills adnate/vaguely decurrant. Stipe 12cm, white with brown fibres. spore print white.

Basidia 4 spored, no distinctive cystidia.

Am I close with Lyophyllum??

I'm going on hols early tomorrow, so that gives you all a whole week to come up with an ID!

Cheers Nick.

Qu'est que c'est? Is this Wild about France????????
Nick. Vous avez commencé votre poste avec une question en français. Maintenant, je sais que le "Traité de Lisbonne" est presque terminé, cependant, nous sommes encore en Grande-Bretagne. En outre vous omis d'afficher une image.
As Henry V may have said " my kingdom for Agaricus arvensis" (I think he needed feeding at the time - but 14-15 is beyond lunch, nevermind breakfast!)

of course my reply is in jest. But a picture would help.

Right, back in a week. Thanks for looking Jon.

Phew, a whole week without awkward questions - good !

Well, for starters, it is in the genus Melanoleuca, that is pretty easy, but to say which one is more difficult, so someone else can have a go now.
