| |  Help with identification please
On a recent trip to Sutherland this was found in grassland/moorland along with literally hundreds of waxcaps.
I don't have a clue about this one. No trees within about a quarter of a mile radius, just grassland/moorland. It was about 10cm across.[url=http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/archive/showphoto.php?photo=139127]  [/url 
It was fairly dry and cap felt fragile, no strong smell. Sorry photos not brilliant.
Hope you can help.

I am no expert but I like to have a go for prectice, so my best guess is russula violeipes, but I am not sure about the base of the stem as it is not clear in the picture..... we will wait for the expert opinions.

Stewart that was my thought as well, but the book I have said found in woodland and stem did not taper, if anything slightly wider at base.

I cannot identify it but would comment on the intermediate gills which are un Russula like?
What about Lepista?

hi
not violeipes and indeed not a Russula at all - look at all those intermediate gills . . . .
difficult to see what the overall size is - I would suggest, as a possibility, a washed-out Calocybe (not gambosa of course)

No way at all this could be washed out Tricholomopsis rutilans? Just throwing it out there  |
