Could be Pluteus leoninus?

[NickCantle]

I'd expect Pluteus leoninus to have a delicate, cloudy white stipe. This has a stipe concolorous with the cap and is also attached to the cap suggesting a partial veil- that I'd expect from a Hypholoma, probably H. fasciculare

or possibly a young Pholiota? it is very bright yellow . . .

thanks gents i asked for a name and you gave me three. talk about value for money. what chance have i got if you cant agree. seriously though i appreciate the difficulty with id from only a pickie and scant description. i went back today to see if it had developed/opened but the kids/wildlife got there first. ive looked up all three suggested ids and none realy fit oh well another for the miscelaneus folder. roll on the big ones appearing then hopefully i can get off my stomach to pickie them for a change once again thanks for your time and effort. tn

The good thing is, it's not necessarily a disagreement, more a discussion Mycology with these WAB guys is amazing
