I found this one at work, on the mud floor of the old farmhouse where we had been sawing up some old chestnut boards.
any ideas?
Cheers
Rob.

Hi Rob,
looks like a shield(pluteus) type but could do with some sizes. also was there a ring on the stem and is the stem smooth or scaly? and, if by some chance you still have it, have the gills got a pink tinge since its been picked.

Cheers for the feedback, the stem is smooth, it should still be on site unless something has eaten it. Have a pic with a pound coin in for size reference though.
and I'd say the stem was 1/4" diameter.

Right, it was still there but I forgot the camera but it had darkened to a deeper beige including the gills, about 3" tall and 1 1/2" dia cap. Smelt like when you open a packet of mixed dried mushrooms.
Hopefully that is enough to help track down it's ID, had another look in my books armed with the suggestions above but still can't make a positive ID.
Cheers again,
Rob.

ok, so you have challenged us now. still pretty confident on Pluteus, but as to what species, am struggling. erring towards Pluteus Ephibeus but without a spore print, its tricky.
be interesting to see how it ages. Swmbo has had all our books out and is intrigued as well.
