I'll have a go Paula. Was it solitary on grassland? or in close association with any trees?

On a grassy bank on it's own near to the Clustered Brittlegills.......there were trees the other side of a small body of water

Two agarics? for help please :
I am wondering if Paula, with incredible telepathic abilities! knew I was preparing these for posting and has maybe already identified the first one, as Agaricus impudicous ??

No.1 (beginning of Oct)
2 pics of a youngish specimen in situ (with beech leaves for scale!!) showing the cap and a not very persistent veil
then 3 pics of an older one plucked for better photography with a bit removed showing no bruising/damage discolouration.

----------------//-----------------

No2. Then 2 pics of a similar one growing in the same place at the end of Oct which at first I thought was a colour variation of No1, but it turns out to have a much more substantial and persistent veil, so I wonder ???

Ps neither had any smell. No1 is a regular autumn visitor on any beech leaf-mold heaps/sweepings. It looks not very far removed from the ordinary edible mushroom and is very tempting but I have resisted these many years past :)
Shaggy Caps grow in the same place and they are good on toast, except we have not found any for 3 years now :(

I'm stuck on post 1033 Paula. There are a number of very similar Conocybe, Gallerina and Mycena to name a few. Was there any cattle dung of any mind nearby?

Cattle don't roam there Dave it's just a grassy bank with water and trees on one side with a guided bus route on the other :thinking:

1) Dave did you recon both my fungi were the same thing, just a colour variation regardless of the substance of the veil ?

2) :lol:
(nitpick mode)crustius panem (/nitpick)
hehe I jest !

actually, -
cos there is nowt on telly, nor on badger cam, and I am marking time till Comet Lovejoy (binocular object verging on unaided eye) rises in the east -

I wondered how would the romans have said "toasted bread"
So I got to panem exuro, burned bread !
Couldnt find anything about toasting or grilling (american broiling?) in their culinary arts tho' !
