According to Funga Nordica:
"var. phalenarum differs in having a dentate or bordered cap margin and a ringless striate stem"
50 records in BMS database
Hope that is helpful
Peter

Other than its size it looks like P semiovatus so if var phalaenarum is a smaller version as described in Bon then it could very well be.

Hi Peter and Mal
Many thanks for your helpful comments.
Mal, can I show novice's ignorance and ask what reference 'Bon' is?

Sorry Chris
It is one of the widely used guide books "Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain and North-western Europe" by Marcel Bon therefore known as BON  It is a good book and the new version is due out in 2006/7/8/9/10

Hi Mal
No need to apologise, it was always going to be a basic question. It's apparently unavailable at present so I have ordered the latest "Collins Complete British Mushrooms and Toadstools" by Paul Sterry. Neil recommended this one to supplement my Jordan.

Of course, if you have lots of money to spend .......... Vols. 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 of Fungi of Switzerland, should still keep you happy for a good few years yet !

No Neil, I don't have pots of money; in fact, I have just retired.
