Entrance Yard
DATE FOUND:
Day 2 – 19 August 2023
Initially ovate, then broadening to flat with a raised, buff apex, these fungi had white caps and cream stems.
At the edges, some were pinkish-buff and raised — these also had thinner caps.
On Day 6 (09 September 2023), I found two emerging from beneath the stones in the entrance yard.
They had white caps with pale brown flecks/scales, and a thick white stem.
By Day 9 (30 September 2023), a few more had grown.
These fungi had stems — which were easy to pierce — and cream, scaly caps.
They generically of mushroom, and sometimes had a greyish cap apex.
The largest were 80mm across.
On Day 10 (08 October 2023), these fungi had grown larger, now showing cream annuluses and scaled, cream caps.
