FUNGUS THREE

Here is the next in this parade of autumn fungi photos by me and identification by Simon Harding.

The Parasol Mushroom, Macrolepiota procera, grows in groups in grassy areas.


The cap is covered in widely spaced brown scales.


It starts off as a button, then an umbrella and eventually flattens out, revealing the pale gills underneath, and the ring on the stem where the cap was attached.
