Mushroom on raised bog field at Westhay Moor
Mushroom on raised bog field at Westhay Moor

Westhay Moor NNR on Sunday afternoon - more sunshine and lots to see.

This is something I had no idea we would find, and TBH I didn't really have my mushroom head on (some would say I never do!) so I didn't do all the things you should do to help with the ID.

But that said, I think this may be a Psathyrella species. The shot in the first comment is probably a less mature example of the same species.
