Identification Request - United Kingdom
    #26984485 - 10/14/20 04:25 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hello - hoping for some advice on some interesting mushrooms in my garden. I've read the guide on what to post so hope there is enough information here.

Habitat: Garden/grass. However, there was an ornamental cherry tree that died 5 years ago in this exact spot, and some of the mushrooms are growing directly out of the old roots. There's another cluster growing out of grass nearby (and the old tree roots are probably just a bit further below the surface).

Location: Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

Cap - Orangey brown, approx 15 cm in width; initially convex, then flat, then progressing to depressed and then infundibuliform as the mushroom grows bigger

Gills - Same colour as the cap, think they have darkened with age

Stem - brown; the nearby younger clump has a white 'collar' about 2cm below the base of the gills. You can see the scar of this on photos 5 and 6, where the 'collar' has either fallen off or disappeared.

Spores appear white, spore print brown (see photo 4) from a small section I cut off


I've uploaded several photos, including one of a spore print (left for 24 hours) below.

Compare to Armillaria cepistipes. A parasitic species that grows on both living and dead tree roots.

Welcome to the Shroomery. :toast:

Many thanks - I think that's right, although maybe more likely Armillaria mellea given UK location?

From the Royal Horticultural Society website:

"Biology
There are seven species of Armillaria in the UK. The most common species in gardens are A. mellea and A. gallica. There is a rarer occurrence of A. ostoyae. The remaining species A. cepistipes, A. tabescens, A. borealis and A. ectypa have not been found in gardens according to a survey done by RHS scientist"
