St. George Mushrooms? ID suggestions welcome
Posted: Tue May 08, 2012 1:35 pm
Hi all,
Found these at the edge of a pasture in north Wales. Size, shape, habitat and time of year all seem to point to St Georges; however - as hopefully visible in the pics - caps are not white, as most websites indicate the St George's are, rather light tan/brownish with a slight grey tint (yellow tint in 2nd pic is due to flash/lighting).
As they are now three days old, they are getting dry; also considering I have never been too good with identifying smells, I would say they smell faintly leathery.
Suggestions welcome!
