| | | Anyone know what this is?
 
Hi all! I found this last Friday and can't find anything like it in the ID Gallery. It was growing on a strip of grass by a track in mixed but mainly deciduous woodland with a lot of birch, oak & sweet chestnut. This is in West Sussex on a hill of mixed chalky down and sandy heathland. Thanks in advance. |

Possibly a rather frilly Clitocybe geotropa. Did you notice any smell?

No, no smell noted. Weird and wonderful isn't it?
Anyone else have any ideas?

Flowerhead xx | hi
as the season starts to hit the first frosts atypical and freakish fruitbodies like this Clitocybe will probably become more frequent on the WAB pages (and also become quite hard to name accurately because of course they don't look like the "real thing")

If we're talking about freakish forms of otherwise common species, how about a deformed Collybia butyracea?

This was a Clitocybe geotropa I found a few years ago, which I think looks rather like this one.  | | |
