| | | A nice find, but what are they?
I found these today growing in soil/wood debris along the edge of a woodland path. As you can see from the pictures, when young they have a smooth yellowish cap which begins to split or crack as the fungus matures. I found this to be the case in every one I spotted, which was around four or five specimens.   
Any help Identifying these would be welcome. |

Hi Wayne,
Looks like an Agrocybe to me. I don't have much experience with this genus, but I think A.praecox appears early, and the habitat fits OK as does the cracking cap.....
Cheers, Nick |

Hi Wayne,
The colour of the gills and the faint ring on the stem are the clues here, so I would back up Nicks suggestion.

Thank you Nick & Neil, that seems to fit quite nicely. |

Fourthed. Out of interest I had my first Laetiporus sulphureus on my first spring foray today!

I also recorded a very young Laetiporus sulphureus yesterday, probably the youngest specimen I have ever seen. | | |
