| | | Is it a Miller ?
This one I found in the grass under an oak tree, however i'm not sure if it was growing on a piece of bark under the grass.
At first I was thinking it was a st George's mushroom. My books on the other hand seem to steer me towards a "Miller". It says they smell strongly of meal/uncooked pastry. The one shown is very much like it. So, is it ?    |

You could always check the spore colour to exclude similar looking white spored taxa.
I wish I had a pound for every time I have recommended making a spore print

Not that I am for one minute suggesting you are thinking of eating it but when the choice is between an edible Miller and a possibly deadly Clitocybe please do not take any id given from the photo as definitive.

Mal | I never would ! I am very new to fungi and have no intention of eating any, unless I have 100% i.d .
Thanks. : |

I have 3 or 4 others set up for a spore print at the moment | | |
