Very nice looking cyans. I'm tempted to visit a local woodchip bed near me. There is one near a new police station lol.
Could be the deadly Galerina marginata, they grow on woodchip beds and have orangey/reddish caps. Don't know without a pic though!

There's a few groups of similar sized ones without wavy heads reddish coloured caps growing in the same bed next to them, I wonder if they are of any interest. could they be Redlead Roundhead Mushroom, Leratiomyces ceres, (Psilocybe aurantiaca/ Stropharia aurantiaca), Strophariaceae. As they look similar , Will go grab them later and take photos if you think it's worth while?
Whether it's worthwhile is down to you. You might learn something if you get them identified.

If that ain't an example of irony I don't know what is.
I hope it's not there as a honeypot, or is that paranoid of me?

Very. Most people know squat about mushrooms generally and I would think that most police officers are the same. That's not to say that they won't be suspicious if they see you picking mushrooms there, just that I doubt they're trying to trap people.

Dys said: What's the best way to transport a stem butt for 8-14 hours? Damp paper towel?
If you have a mushroom species with a rhizomorphic stem butt you want to transport, why not just put it straight into whatever material you want to create spawn with? Damp paper towel or newspaper could work if you don't have cardboard lying around. Only one way to find out though. Just damp it to field capacity and give it a go.
