Field Notes

Description:

first photo was growing in a fairy ring in a field maybe 7 or 8m from a tree (I didn't note the tree species). Second photo was in a second fairy ring a little further away, I suspect they are same species. The second fairy ring is pictured in 3rd and 4th photos. Previously listed as 'Agaricus campestris?'

thanks CorduneanuVlad; I thought it looked a bit 'shaggy' for Agaricus campestris
