Had this crop in my garden from an old ornamental cherry tree, they have a really strong mushroom smell.

It's more....honey fungus! :-D

 

[Geoff Dann]

Thankyou for not posting any more pictures of honey fungus!

Trooping Funnel. Mmmmmmm.....

Thanks Geoff. That's a new one for me.

 

[awarner]

Thanks, how many different varieties are thereof honey fungus? or is it dependant on the tree it is growing from?

ok - got an inquiry from a colleague at work. My spldey senses are telling me "honey fungus"-ish: growing on a dead stump, looks like a deciduous area
Thought I had it straight away from a google search of "Armillaria hinnulea", but we are in Old South Wales not New, so that one is out

Macrolepiota procera - Parasol Mushroom

Nice when young, older specimens, dried and crushed, make a good mushroom powder seasoning.

Thanks i took a guess. Great too look at but mushrooms are the devils work. Evil tasting things or I might dedicate more time to their ID

ok - answer my own question. I had a follow up photo and, guess what, it IS another honey fungus, the colour on this photo just threw me

5 in the UK, although one is very rare. Most are not fussy about what sort of tree or shrub they grown on.

What does it smell like?

 

[Geoff Dann]

It's clouded funnel.

Spotted a small patch of these chaps today. Wet ground next to a small stream in a patch of mixed Hazel, Ash and Oak in North Cornwall. I thought maybe Yellow Brittlegill, but didn't have a book with me so left them. Suggestions from another group so far, funnel cap or oakbug milkcap.

and it looked a bit dark to me it was a light purple?
