Why sorry kind of formalities ! its ok :) U said its tasty n i believe you :)
Sintija Valucka
Oh, sorry, didn't know that :) but no worries, it's not like they are the most delicious food in the world :)
Adarsha B S
ha ha ha :P My mom wont let me eat ! It's banned in our religion(cast) !
Sintija Valucka
If you ever do decide to try, hope they will be very delicious! :)
Sintija Valucka
Oh my, that is something interesting! yes, that would be great! :D :)
Adarsha B S
Ha ha ha ! But i never tasted fungi :P I am afraid to taste.. Instead of using plastic plates, which are bionondegradable, this plate can be used :) And in the end we can say " a guest came and ate food including plates"..lolz!
Sintija Valucka
yes, it was big enough for that :D and this would be a very nature friendly plate, because afterwards you could eat the plate, too :)
Adarsha B S
I'd love to have my food in a plate like this :P
Sintija Valucka
maybe it really has lost its colour, I will have to check that place again, maybe there will be some new fungi (baby fungi :D) :)
Neil Ross
You are most welcome, sintija. Your spotting is massive, but perhaps it's like mine where it seems to loose colour as it matures. Awesome stuff :-)
Sintija Valucka
wow, thank you very much, Neil! :)) Now I also think that it really belongs to the genus Lepista. ;) And it surely is tricky to identify fungi!!!
Neil Ross
A great spotting. Most likely Lepista sp., or possibly Hygrocybe sp. I would lean towards the Lepista sp., particularly with the waxy cap, deep gills and smooth stem with its grainy appearance. Good places to start. Here's one I found that was documented over several days. I still haven't found an exact ID for mine, but I think you'll agree they look very similar.

Fungi ID is never an easy task :-/
Sintija Valucka
I agree, it really is! :)) I just wish I could find what's the name of it.. :))
Sckel
this is really cool. Stop little fungi!
MilesBerkey
I've been seeing these around too! beautiful.
Tiz
Lets hope it is :) Free food!!!
Sintija Valucka
Tiz, it really is! :D :) If it is edible, one is more than enough for one meal :D
Tiz
Very cool!
