I am very new to fungi so wondered if anyone can help.

Have a few of these growing in my lawn/meadow - quite large - 8-10 cm wide.

What are they - are they field blewit?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Where is the stem?

It is much easier to ID a fungus when all of it is present, also what colour are the spores?

Put a cap flat down on some clean paper and cover so it does not dry and leave overnight to let the spores fall out and let us know what colour they are.
