Some of the fungi we found at Paxton Pits this week. I can't work out what sort they are, but think they must be a cap fungi. The nearest I can find in my book are the bolbitius vitellinus. I'm none the wiser though - are you?
Great shot of whatever they are! I have an identification app that gives three "top suggestions"-- Mica Cap (Coprinellus micaceus), Common Ink Cap (Coprinopsis atramentaria), or Pleated Ink Cap (Parasols plicatilis).
My iPhone says it’s
“ Coprinellus micaceus, commonly known as the mica cap, glistening inky cap, or shiny cap, is a common species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae with a cosmopolitan distribution. ”
Whatever that is!! 😀😀😀
@princessicajessica@johnfalconer Thank you for taking the time to look up these mushrooms. I think they must be 'mica cap's, as you both mentioned them as the most likely
Good to have knowledgeable friends on here. I think these have a nice 'storybook shape' but I'm not sure about touching any of these wild place visitors ..... I'm fascinated by the experts knowledge on TV etc!
