They're not uncommon, certainly see them reasonably often and they're referenced in several of my fungi guides. I'll try and post some links in due course. Difficult to be exact from a photo but the habitat is certainly similar.

Snowy meadow cap, Snowy wax cap, Hygrocybe virginea, Camarophyllus virgineus, and Hygrophorus virgineus are all just synonyms. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/cuphophyllus_virgineus.html
Best guess: a rather unusually-squat (like these) group of:

Looks like this damned dry weather is about to be replaced by proper autumn stuff. Change will start on Saturday and by Monday it's going to be wet and windy. Given how quiet the fungi have been since early September it is a fairly safe bet that we're going to see the season peak in mid-October. There's going to be fungi all over the place from about the 10th.

Hello,
Anyone any idea what this may be? Found on local common earlier today. They were quite large - perhaps 8-10cm tall. I wasn't able to look at the gills or spores as right at the point that I took the photo, my dog decided to start feasting on a dead festering stinking rabbit. Charming animal.

My eldest and I were exploring a new wood when we found this bad boy. About the size of a dinner plate.
Thinking an old orange birch bolete?

I assume you know it is one of the large orange Leccinums...
There is a slight improvement out there. The fungi are beginning to respond to the rain we've had, and some new stuff is just starting to come through. I hope we are going to see some more activity in this thread going forwards!!

I've noticed what looks to be a bit of a second flush of penny buns out at one of my spots. I Hadn't seen any there for over a month but on Thursday there were a few prime examples poking through.
Just noticed this thread and had a couple from previous trips out that I'd always wondered about.
First:
Always thought that was a Parasol?
Second:
Really never had a clue about that one. Both in the New Forest.
