Found these large mushrooms growing in the grass beside an alder in the park. I feel that they should be related to the blewits due to the perfumed smell, but not sure which. Flowery Blewit is the closest match, although I found one that was 15cm across and 10cm is the largest width according to the books.


1. Flowery Blewit (Lepista irina).
Growing in grass near to alder. Cap 7-15cm. Perfumed blewit type smell. ID is fairly likely. Sporeprint pale tan. Spores 7-8.5µ x 4.5-5.5µ.

2. Shaggy Scalycap (Pholiota squarrosa).
