Thanks just been told (by a random Twitter user) they may be Cortinarius species and that a lot of those are poisonous.
I have dissected one here.

Hi there. Can anyone help me id this mushroom? We have loads of them growing in our garden, and I'm sure they're edible, but hesitate to try them for obvious reasons! Pics included. Most of them are around 2" in height, with a good clean 'mushroom' smell.

they most definately are not edible

I found these in some shady woods just growing out of the bare ground. Smell strongly of mushroom, surprisingly!
I think they're St George's but not 100%.
Are there any poisonous mushrooms that look similar to St George's?

Hello there. Welcome to Downsizer. St Georges don't seem to grow round here, so I can't help with the id, but if you wait a day or two someone will be along to help I'm sure.

While you're waiting do a spore print and take a photo of a section through one of the 'shrooms.

Found these in the Forest of Ae in Dumfriesshire..there are masses of them this year.
They seem to be on stalks like cherries, have vicious thorns like plums,but in crosssection look like apples!!

I posed this on a Wild plant i.d.group on fb..the consensus there is that they are true wild crab apples.

Thorny Wild Crabapple Species

The European crabapple (Malus sylvestris), native to the Ireland and the United Kingdom, is dense and thorny, growing from 15 to 18 feet high. Most of the crabapple trees seen in the U.K. and Ireland are hybrids between wild crabapple trees and domestic trees. True wild European crabapple trees are rare. The American crabapple (M. coronaria), native to the Midwest and Eastern United States, known for its pink and white blossoms, is a dense snarl of thorny branches growing up to 25 feet tall.

Native Habitat and Thorny Growth

European and American crabapples often have multiple trunks, and their interiors are often dead from the lack of sun penetrating the thorny snarl of their crowns. The European crabapple is found in areas of native scrub in older woodlands. American crabapple trees like moist, well-drained soils and typically grow at the edges of woodlands and fields. Their tangle of crisscrossing, thorny branches make them useful for growing as hedgerows.

I am not sure if this is edible more than once!
Anyone know it's name?

It is on an old beech stump

not sure what it is, chickens usually have the colours the other way round, ie pale at the edges
those with the name are varied and that looks rather like a southern USA one in the pictures

most things on trees will not kill you, some are good eating

cute shroom though i might not go yum without more research

what texture does it have? smell? raw toxicity results?

it looks promising, only feeding half the village will be a decent test

I found these growing down the allotment. I've never seen them before. Are they crabbers?

Thanks.
