Is this a Cortinarius

Hi

I found this today. On the edge of woodland by a roadside in the verge. Cap around 4cm. Cap/stipe/gills all yellow with a slight greeness to it. And I am taking a spore print overnight!

Can anyone help with a suggestion.

Many thanks.

Hi Dave,

Does it smell of coal gas?

It has the look of Tricholoma sulfureum.

Regards,
Mike.

This time I have kept a sample!

I'll have a sniff when the spore print is complete

Coal Gas - you say. I'm still trying to work out what a Pelagonium is!!
Only kidding - I grew up inhaling the sweet smell of coal gas!

You have just suggested an ID for one of the fungi in photos I have just posted (the thread below this one), but did you not think my yellow one looked like a younger version of yours?

I didn't smell it unfortunately as being new to this game, I have only just learned how important this is.

I hope you can confirm Lancashire Lad's ID 'cause I'll grab this for my own.

Thanks both.

Thanks Mike,

yes it does smell of coal gas and the spores were white. Tricholoma sulfureum - The Sulphur Knight - it is.

Hi alindsay

I must say I haven't come across the "Knights" before so I can't tell if your's looks like a younger version. Mine was a solid sulphur yellow colour inside and out if that helps.
