another garden fungi for ID.

This is baffling me I cant find it in my books, it was lying on the lawn upside down I have no idea how it got there but I suspect the dog kicked it and knocked it there...who knows....






It was near to where I found a Clitocybe nebularis could this be the same species.

Cheers Elaine..

Hi Elaine,

This looks very much like Lyophyllum decastes, which should be growing in clump - did you separate this one to get a photo ?

Neil.

Edit: Just read the doggy bit, it's not a poisonous species if the dog brought it home, but there should be a clump of this growing nearby.

No the dog did not bring it home I think she could of kicked it as she runs round the garden like a mad thing..
The odd thing is it was on its own upside down on the lawn I looked all over for any more as I have no idea where it came from I thought someone threw it there but we are very secluded and it would be hard to get it to land there without getting caught in trees..
What habitat do these normally grow in. ?
I have lots of old shrubs and a couple of conifer stumps and an old dead cherry stump we couldn't remove so the chance of fungi growing is quite high I should imagine.
