About two pounds in weight, on a grass verge, now safely in my rucksack. They were in danger of someone else picking them as I cycled past them this morning. Left some on the ground to spread their spores and for the maggots to eat aswell.
Cycling past this morning, there's another pound and a half or so on the same site. Might be in for a productive forage this weekend... Fingers crossed

Horse mushrooms often have a flush of yellow on their caps don't they? We found a few last year and tried one so we'll be happier to try them again this year.

Very often, and they bruise a subtle yellow, rather than the more vivid yellow of the yellow stainer (Agaricus xanthoderma). They also smell 'mushroomy', almost pleasantly almondy, rather than the nasty carbolic reek of the yellow stainer.
