Joe Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Any mushroom experts out there? Are these Parasol mushrooms? Growing in woodland shade - north east England. Thanks in advance Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Sorry, can't help except that parasol mushrooms have a 'ring' on the stem under the cap, and they're overall browner than those in your photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Kelly Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I was also thinking ink cap - pleated ink cap maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If you can remember the height and diameter of the cap I suggest you look up COPRINUS NIVEUS. Not an ink cap but has the appearance of the fungi in your shot. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Fascinating subject fungi - used to know a bloke into them years ago and a lot of times he would not give an ID until he had the spores under a microscope to check. Although he did assure me the purple ones growing near my house were wood blewits - great to eat and considered a luxury item in supermarkets.
