It's that time again, I've got mushrooms under the (relatively new) almond tree,
and we're looking for hints in identification.

With usual provisos - yes, we're not going to eat them; yes, we know you can't tell
much just from a photo; no, we're not going to poison anyone with them; no, we're
not going to sell them to the local school kids; etc

The tops are brown and the whole thing looked almost spherical. The brown was
very shiny but it was damp. You couldn't really see the base, as it was growing
up between stones, but when I took one out you could see the white fluffy stuff
I have forgotten the name of, with no underground growth to speak of. The size
should be obvious from the scale in the photo, but was approx 1.25 inches across.

Far too large to look at that. Try reducing the pic to (say) 800 pixels
wide, and saving it at 25%
