White mushrooms/toadstools in lawn

wrote: Further descriptive info - they are various sizes now, the smallest from about 1-2cm, the largest 3-4 cm, some are almost frilly around the edge, some just smooth and round (I'm sure they are the same kind though, just some variations) and some of them are almost like shallow trumpets with a small indentation in the middle, while some are smooth with no indentation. The gills don't seem to extend down the stem, they just seem to be under the 'parasol'. Hmmm, I'll have to have a spell in 'the study'.... They could be fairy ring Champignon ( a truly gorgeous fungi ) but then I'd have expected there to be definite rings of them... unless it's their first year of colonization. Then again, the colour would be more buff than cream - and there'd perhaps be a small raised lump ( or umbo ) in the centre of the cap. If I can find anything else that fits the bill I'll let you know - but the description of the gills rules out the nasty Clitocybes.

This was definitely Wood Blewit - lovely blue-lilac gills, tall slender stem, no trace of cortina. I guess the juniper gave it the conditions it needs - I used to find lots in shady hedgerows so not so dissimilar...also it's a mature garden. That sounds like the wee beasty! I'm completely jealous of your non-allergy.. I just wanted you to know that!
