Hymenium is not adnexed enough for my liking... but this ID will do for a while.
Mark Ridgway
Thanks again g.m I'll get back to this one later today.

Consider Gymnopilus dilepis, G. purpuratus, G. aeruginosus, G. luteofolius. I think it is likely a 'magic' species. If the mushroom bruises a blue/green shade this would be confirmed.
Mark Ridgway
Actually I think it's too small for that. It already has no signs of a veil and is only 25mm.
Mark Ridgway
Yes it does a bit. I'll check it tomorrow. Thanks.
