DAY 2 - Lilac Blewit
Lepista sublilacina

Field Notes
Description:
DAY 2 - Fungi caps have faded considerably since original spotting yesterday. Certainly not as pretty as DAY 1 - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31018033 When exposed to direct sunlight, the caps seem to bleach of colour. Gills also beginning to fade, loosing their soft mauve/pink hue. Caps are starting to flatten around the edges, whilst others have really warped or split.
Habitat:
Found amongst garden mulch which was quite moist due to recent rains. Fungi scattered over an area no more than 1 m/sq. Well shaded by surrounding foliage for most of the day.
Notes:
Another mushroom that was given serious consideration was the Hygrocybe sp. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrocybe The general consensus from the folks at mushroomobserver.org however, is that this belongs to Lepista, not Hygrocybe.
