They have the appearance of Velvet Shank - Flammulina velutipes, - viscid cap & dark brown "velvety" stipe" - which is typically a late autumn/winter fruiting fungus, - but as far as I'm aware only grows on wood. (Though there may be some buried in the grass).
I haven't yet seen any this year, but that's not to say it isn't already around in other areas.
Regards,
Mike. |
