0 Broad Norfolk Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Dave, I am perplexed! I'm not an expert on fungi but just as a guide or starting point try Cystolepiota bucknallii. I'd be interested too if anyone had a precise definition here. Jim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DJ Myford Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Cystolepiota bucknallii is the best I can come up with as well. If it was in a beech wood that would add weight to the hypothesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a search based on your suggestion but I think the fungi may be closer to Cystolepiota seminuda, but I'm still not sure! I'll keep looking and may try a site specialising in fungi so as to get a positive ID. When i do find out I'll let the forum know.

Thank DJ The fungi was in a deciduous woodland in North Yorkshire (Bolton Abbey) and having done a little more research i think it may be Cystolepiota seminuda but still not sure. I'll keep going and find out for sure. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep going and find out for sure. I also looked at Cystolepiota seminuda but edged towards Cystopepiota bucknallii because of the bluish colouration of the stems. It would appear to be between these two. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
