Found these whilst out today. They were growing next to a path under some trees. I was thinking st georges?









Couldnt take any photos in situ as didnt have my camera.

They do look like typical St Georges Mushrooms, However, I am not saying they are. I always check all the microscopic details if I want to be absolutely certain.

Not great pics Paul but I think you have St Georges. They should have a fairly distinctive smell, which I liken to play dough, but hey, smell is subjective in many cases. The good news is, that at this time of year there are very few other mushroom types that you could confuse Calocybe gambosa with. The species that I always warn people of, is Inocybe erubesens, which can occur during late spring but mostly on alkaline soils. This also has reddening flesh and a brown spore print. St George's does not redden and has a white/cream spore print.
