thanks Randy for the ID... I've only just seen it! Better late than never though!
pamsai
yes Mark, it was on a narrow animal parth amongst long grass, but it shone through... very easy to see, orange uppermost.

thanks Randy for the ID and happy MiesMeister, that you enjoyed it...

Incredibly cool colours, pamsai! I never knew there were orange scaly Agaricus! Such a treat for the eye:)

Well this is an odd one. At first I thought of Flammulaster or maybe Cyptotrama species, but the gill color is off for that. I'm thinking something close to Agaricus crocopeplus.

I love the contrast between the orange and the dull colored gills.
