LOCATION:

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, I found two emerging from beneath the stones in the entrance yard.

They had buff-yellow caps with pale brown flecks/scales, and a thick cream stem.

By Day 9, a few more had grown.

These fungi had soft stems and cream, scaly caps.

They had a generic mushroom smell, and some had a greyish cap apex.

On Day 10, these fungi had grown larger, now showing cream annuluses and scaled, cream caps.

The flesh was also brownish and the gills fuscous.
