I have been going a bit goggle eyed looking through all my fungi guides and they all looked the same to me last night after much browsing

Pleasure Jen. I prefer to use the latin names where possible but sometimes it comes out all wrong

I think you are right Jen and the many folds and contortions can look a little brain-like. |

:hello1: Yesterday, I found this mushroom growing on the ground at the front of our old wood store (formerly used as wartime rabbit hutches) and I am at a loss to identify it. My wife and I have looked through our tome on French mushrooms and we just can't find it. Can anyone help us, please? |

Hi Chris. It could be an agaricus, especially with those chocolate-brown coloured gills. I'll check through my field guides. |

Thanks for your suggestion, Dave. I thought that nearly all Agaricus species had an annulus or ring around the stipe which mine seems not to have. Apparently Agaricus silvaticus doesn't have an annulus but it doesn't look like mine. I'll keep looking.....

I'm still looking as well Chris but no joy as yet. I have also been looking at Lepiota sp. What sort of size was the stem Chris and did it have any odour at all? |

Dave. The stem was about 6 cm in length and there was no discernible odour, although we didn't actually cut the specimen. I did looked at Lepiota sp. but couldn't find one that matched. I've also looked in our book and online at Agaricus sp. but no luck so far. A real mystery, this one!

It's certainly looking that way Chris. I have not had time to look today but i'll carry on searching tomorrow. |

Still no luck with this Chris and i'll have to try and cross-reference the possible species between my three fungi guides. |
