It was growing in a tray of flower-seedlings, where I had shoved the
packet in
the edge of the soil and it had got damp.

(It's about 1/5" tall, with a slightly shaggy top, nothing of note under
the
soil - that's the soil it came from on top of the packet)

Maybe this one?

First thought was yes - the third of the photos on that page looks just
like it. But I think the gills are darker in mine than that one.

But thank you. I'm only looking for curiosity sake, so if I don't get
an exact match it's not a problem.


I do like the idea that mushrooms that pop up in your garden are edible and
maybe some are. I was afraid to eat something that I thought was a perfect
specimen of a parasol mushroom under my trees and perhaps it was fine.
So I ate another different one that emerged - looked like a small field
mushroom, but kinda not the same but who knows if they change as they grow.
My insides were turned out for days - I thought I would never get off the
toilet. It must have been poisonous. How lucky was I that my body cleared
it.
Yes, I have a mushroom book. No, even with that will I risk it again.
I only buy mushrooms from the supermarket now.
