If I'd have seen that coming out of the ground my first thought would have been a blusher or some other amanita looking at the remains of what may have been a veil 'little white lacy dots' over the top, typical amanita, does it have a bulbus bottom? I hope it does open and you can get pictures of the underside Of course I know next to nothing about ID-ing shrooms  lords knows I've tried still a great find ian |

In my junior school (Meeting house Lane Penrith circa 1950/1) the playground surface was polished by years and thousands of little feet. We were amazed to see a bump in the centre ish slowing becoming larger and larger, eventually a mushroom of some variety reared up!
Cheers, Tony.

Sadly the mushroom did not survive the night- it looks as though something knocked the cap off.  Shame, because it was doing so well! I did wonder about those dots and got quite excited- I've yet to see one of the amanitas in the wild. |

A very belated answer, it's not an Amanita, it's an Inkcap Mushroom, most likely the Firerug Inkcap, Coprinellus domesticus. Like all the inkcaps it grows on decaying wood so there's some rot in the birdtable roof.

Thanks for that id, Flecc- you were right about the rot, the roof managed to survive last winter but we had to replace it in the spring!
