Ok so firstly these are rubbish pics that I took in the dark while fairly drunk on Friday night. I keep forgetting to take pics during the day, I'll try and remember to try tomorrow morning if these are too rubbish. Anyway these mushrooms/toadstools have been growing in my garden for about 3 weeks now and don't seem to be dying off, although I'm sure the frost will see to that. They are growing under pine trees. They sort of resemble Scotch pancakes

Thanks for replying. Basically I can't get a pic in the daylight as it's still dark when I leave for work and it's dark again when I get home. So I just picked one of the smaller ones (it's about half the size of the others. The pics are a little better but my phone cam makes everything look yellow. They don't have the blue or purple stalks and look different to the one you said. The caps kind of curl up. Hope these pics are better to ID. Also the frost we had the other day doesn't seem to have harmed them at all. They smell delicious too.

Hi,
with those deccurent gills i think its more likely to be a Clitocybe now , probably C.nebularis or similar,
is the cap colour a grey/brown in real life ?
pic 3 of your original post seems to suggest it is, which points to it possibly being C.nebularis etc

sorry i cant be more helpful

Hi there. I googled C.nebularis and that looks extremely similar, this pic in particular. The caps are a grey brown with a few having the little stuck on bits (for want of a better phrase...sorry I'm clueless with fungi terms) that some caps have, fly agarics for e.g.. They are growing under pine too. The wiki page says they smell foul though which I didn't find. I thought they had a very appetising mushroomy smell

try comparing these with yours, www.fungiphile.uk/nebularis.html or this one www.fungiphile.uk/forum/index.php?topic=79.0

its looking very likely to be the same one i think

They do look very similar. The trees were planted about 20 years ago and this is the first year these mushrooms have appeared
