Growing in grass. One. Cap 6cm, stem 7cm. Hardly any smell but perhaps a bit unpleasant. Cap smooth/silky. Probably is a Field Mushroom despite the smell being a bit uncharacteristic. ID is very likely. Spores 6-8µ x 4-5.5µ.

Growing on grass amongst scattered oak and poplar trees. Several scattered around. Cap 3-5cm. Pleasant mushroom smell. Gills pink on unopened buttons, brown on older open caps. ID is fairly likely. Sporeprint Dark brown.

Growing in short grass. Only one. Cap 4.5cm. Mushroom with aniseed hint. Not sure of this id but lack of ring and lack of yellow in cut flesh makes Field Mushroom the most likely. ID is fairly likely. Sporeprint Dark brown. Spores 7-8µ x 4.5-5.5µ.
