DATE FOUND:

Day 1 – 15 September 2022

They were situated in leaf litter at the edges of the path.

The caps were mainly a cream colour – light orange-brown at the bumpy apex, fading to grey and finally black at the very edges.

The edges were wavy and a little striated.

The stems were cream and the gills were grey, turning to black, and very close.

I found some more on Day 2 (24 September 2022):

These were very pale, almost white.

Day 3 – 01 October 2022:

These had a very stark contrast between the orange-brown caps and transparent-like white stems.

On Day 4 (08 October 2022) I found one alone in tall grass.

It had cinnamon-buff caps fading to cream.

Its stem was thin and white, almost transparent, with grey gills.

Later I found some with mottled fawn caps and dark greyish-brown gills.

Day 10:

I found this somewhat pale fungus by Basecamp.

I found this small group at the Trail End by the side of the path.

They were a much darker orange-brown.

 

On Day 11 I found a singular P. conopilea in the car park.

On Day 12, there were even more here:
