Please help me identifie this fungus.

[Eeveemai]

Can anybody help me identifie this fungus i found today? I thought at first it might be a Russula of some kind or maybe an Inocybe but every picture i found shows these as having gills seperate from the stipe and this one has them attached like a Chanterelle. Also im not sure if you can really make it out from the picture but there is a deffinate bump in the centre at the top. I would be greatful for any suggestions. Thanks

hi - and welcome to WAB

not sure about this one - will have a think, neither a Russula nor an Inocybe nor a chanterelle though

I have pm'd you re some images of another fungus you've uploaded (it's
not what you think it is)

best wishes

This is surely a Tricholoma, maybe from the sub-section Terreineae.

T.terreum can be ruled out as the gill attachment is adnexed whist the photo here shows sinuate gills, but without knowing if there was a particular smell or if it was growing with Pine trees (or deciduous) I don't think this can be taken further.

I am assuming by the way that the first photo (in the hand) are more like the true colours of this fungus ?

Thanks for the welcome! As you can probably tell im still a bit of a novice. Thanks for the comments on my Inocybe that is not an Inocybe Chris

Neil: I found the mushrooms under a Hawthorn hedge and they are not very strong smelling really, quite like the normal buttons from the shops. Yes the pic with my hand is a better colour, they are a brown/grey with a white stipe and no ring.

Thanks to both of you for all your help

hi Hayley

in that case I go along with Neil; that colour cast was very misleading . . .

and remember - we're all learning
