Found this coming up this morning in with some cosmos seedlings, (which I've obviously been over-watering).

I've googled for images of white mushrooms with warts, but couldn't find anything similar. I know it's necessary for an mushroom id to see the underside of the cap, but I'm reluctant to pull it up and possibly uproot the cosmos as well. I thought someone might have an idea, even without seeing the gills.

Impossible to say which without using a microscope.

Our field is currently full of them. Don't know about the 'warts' though! )

I think it's a bit small and in an odd place for a shaggy ink cap (one of the few fungi I know well). Don't they normally have a lot more friends too?
