Inside the Great Glasshouse today , the welcome return of Lepiota cristata , Stinking Dapperling - we found a single specimen a few years ago . Today there were several hidden beneath some of the plants - the description 'stinking' is a bit harsh but it does smell of a quite strong organic chemical. It should be enough to put off people mistaking it for an edible agaric (considered to be poisonous ).
You must have the nose for it Peter. Look forward to seeing it.
