Under a Yew tree at Dinefwr Park ,the cap was approx. 6-7 inches and had a soft feathery feel. It looked like a Lepiota but they mostly have White or Cream gills .
Yes ---- brown/black gills (spores)so one of the agaricus --- but which one? Looking at Kibby it could be one of several --- having his monograph is good but frustrating as it tells you to look at several features (type of ring, base of stipe, colour change when cut etc). Another possible = A.impudicus (he says 'one of the commonest species growing in woodland). We live and learn!
Hi Peter.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an Agaricus of some sort
Yes Colin I'm thinking along the same lines Agaricus augustus or subperonatus maybe ?
