Hi there,
I'm pretty sure this is Amanita gemmata again, which you have had before.
Those growing on the IoW would appear to be a lot more robust than those I find here on the Suffolk coast where they are reasonably common along grassy forest rides and with Birch on acidic soil, although I would expect soil on the IoW to be more alkaline which may go some way to explaining why yours seem more robust.
A full photo of the cap would have made me a lot more confident.
Neil.
PS. Just noticed you said it was on chalk downland.
EDIT. How did you manage to slip that one in before me Nick ?
I quickly scrolled up to make sure there were no replies before I clicked on 'send'.

That's a pint of WD 40 for Nick - in another thread he said he was getting rusty.
Mine's Adnams or Woodfordes 'Wherry'
Cheers,

Cheers,
Neil. | Overnight soaking in Coca-Cola will help free rusty things.....  . Probably thr best use for it, IMHO.  edit only just found out there are only 4 photographs of this species in the fungi Gallery, is it worth posting these 2 there?

I don't have much to do with the Gallery, but why not ? the more variety of a species, the better.
