Here's one to identify, found in a heavily grazed horse field. On it own. No distinctive smell. No staining when bruised/cut. Smooth slightly shiny skin almost like egg shell. Stalk wet when sliced in two.

Lovely clear photos.
Do you have a spore print colour? I don't know where to look other wise, unless someone can up with a good suggestion.
It is not field mushroom or amanita, maybe melanoleuca evenosa, but I am proper guessing.

ha thats the one thing i forgot to do was a spore print. I left it on white paper over night and i suspect it will show nothing as i think they will be white.
edit yes as much as they can be seen on white paper they look to be a cream colour. i have now put it on a dark piece of paper and we shall see.

I love trying to ID mushrooms but it's so frustrating for a beginner! Great pics and info but I still have no idea what it is. You all probably know about it but this is a good ID website: http://www.rogersmushrooms.com
My encyclopedia would indicate volvariella volvacea as a likely candidate - straw mushroom. But that is just a guess - there are a lot of these models that do look alike

**edit** I've removed the pic as it was from the website above and I think I may have to get permission to show it here. Better safe than sorry!

Excellent Find! I am inclined to agree. Should of ate it whilst I had the chance
You should send them your pics. Yours mushroom is much better looking than the tatty looking ones they have on the website at the moment!
