Another couple from today

[thebeard]

Got a couple of others for studying today from the cemetary.

First one was growing in grass, pretty old specimen i think. about 10cm high, dark brown cap, brown ring on paleish stipe. free gills, spore print chocolately brown. All signs point to Agaricus but thats as far as i've got (and i'm sure as far as i'll get without a microscope???)



second one i've ID'd down to a Clitocybe, unsure of which though. Gills decurrent, white, spore print white. the caps were a bit more whitish grey-buff than this inrolled margin, on the larger specimens (up to 15cm) the margins were very wavy. growing in a ring on the ground amongst yew leaf litter. thought of C.nebularis at first but the shape seems wrong for them.

I think you are correct with Agaricus and without knowing what it smelt like or whether there is any change to the flesh colour (such as quickly turning red) we cannot take it much further.

C. nebularis for the other.

In complete agreement with Neil!

[fairplay]

Phew! I needed that, after just looking at Alans reply to my Macrotyphula fistulosa suggestion elsewhere.

Cheers Nick.
