Unidentified Fungi

[islayhawk]

Hi - can anyone identify this Fungi for me.
It stands about 7" high , the cap is about 4" wide. The stem is approx 1" diameter. The cap looks an olive colour

This may simply be a Death Cap, Amanita phalloides, but you will need to scrape away the woodchips from around the base of the stem to reveal the volva, if any.
It could even be a Russula or Entoloma, but the shot is over exposed and we cannot see the gill colour - assuming there are gills.

Again, we need more information, especially about the growing conditions and do explain that net in the background.

Fungi is growing a the base of a beech sapling in a woodchip mulch.The net you see is the mesh to protect the sapling from vermin. I will post more information
