New inhabitants in the back yard...

[Insequent]

So I mowed the yard about 2 weeks ago when grass was up to a meter in places. Then mowed again Monday/Tuesday this week. Lots of straw like dead grass from the first mow leaving a layer of mulch. I wake up this morning to be greeted with new friends in the yard. I've been here 6 years and have only seen 1 or 2 mushies here. Nothing like this.  And I'm sorry for the pic quality. They look much better on my PC...

 

I've no idea what personality they are. Just keen to start learning as much as I can.

Peace and Love, G.

I see a volva on several of them, it is hard to see but one looks as though there is also an annulus, can you confirm whether they all had a volva and an annulus?

Is there an annulus on any of them?

A spore print will help you here.

 

IF: Volva + annulus, then an Amanita. Need to see more characteristics of the volva and base to determine the section.

IF: Volva + no annulus THEN Volvopluteus gliocephalus (IF spore print it pink) or Amanita sect. Vaginatae (IF spore print is white).

IF: No volva + no annulus + pink spore print THEN Pluteus species. If no volva + no annulus + spore print white then, we need more info about what was growing nearby because that list going to be longer.

Hey ME. Thanks so much for the info. Unfortunately that's all the pics I have, and they were taken back at the end of march, so I can't provide any more info. I've not had them re-appear yet, I assume due to the cooler weather. If any more show up, I'll follow your instructions and post what I found here, now I know what to look for.
