Growing on large rotting log in clusters. Ten. Cap up to 17cm. Stem around 10cm. Weight of the biggest was 295g. I thought a mild pleasant earthy smell but a tiny bit foetid. The book says they smell of beansprouts, which seems about right. Covered in fine fibrils. Gills white then flesh colour. Eaten. Sporeprint Browny pink. Spores 7-8µ x 5-6.5µ.
