Not exactly the right time of the year, but mushrooms are appearing under the pitostroms. Located a few yards as dron a birch treee and a number of of oaks. Welcoming any ID. And I dont eat mushy’s like this. Only the little fried ones with brekky lol.
@RichForshaw these look potentially Agaricus, but for ID purposes we need to see the underside, and ideally the stipe (stem) and any annulus (skirt) as well. :)
@RichForshaw thank you! I can see the similarity, and death caps (Amanita phalloides) have been spotted locally already this year (everything is topsy-turvy for fungi at the moment), but these are an Agaricus. The gregarious nature (heaps together) boxy top, and type of annulus make these likely to be something in section Xanthodermatei, so mildly toxic, but nothing so bad as a death cap! If you could, please pop these on iNaturalist as well? There is a researcher called Grace Boxshall who is studying Agaricus who keeps an eye on sightings there.
