      Hiya guys,

      I came across this fungus a few days ago and am struggling to get an ID on it. Found on a large lawn, surrounded by beech and Scots pine in Surrey. Approx 8cm across the top and spore print light cream. Silky chestnut top with no obvious smell. Two examples below growing together.

      Thanks in advance!

        I think it’s a Pleurotus, perhaps P. ostreatus. Check to see if it dropped off one of the trees.

          Thanks Adam, I’d wondered if it was something along those lines. But it was definitely rooted and living in the grass and on no obvious buried wood that I could see.
