Welcome aboard,

This looks tough. The upturned specimen looks very much like a Russula yet the specimens in the ground look more like Tricholoma or even Inocybe.

Sorry, beats me!!!

Hi Nick.

I was looking in Roger Phillips Mushroom book.
Maybe it's Tricholoma argyraceum var. scalpturatum?

Hello Jaerdam,

Welcome to the forum, it looks like a Dutch name - are you from Nederland ?

I think you may have Roger Philipps first mushroom book, but even there I cannot find a Tricholoma argyraceum var.scalpturatum.

You are probably right with Tricholoma, but this is a tricky one and would need to be examined under a microscope.

Neil.

Hello,

yes, I agree with Tricholoma argyraceum.
The microscope wouldn't be of help in this case, there are no microscopical differences to neighbouring species.

best regards,
Andreas
