richard25 0 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 ok well i thought i was quite good with my mushrooms as i regulary pick my own ( pretty much weekly if mother nature allows )well today i was out & i thought i hit the jackpot as i saw from what i thought was a puffball. it was laying jsut on the outskirts of the woods in some grass with a few around now some were still closed and looked exactly like puffballs but then i notcied a couple of the mushrooms open that looked to have a lilac colour gills & white all over, & it also had a ring on the stem??? got me puzzled Sorry i dont have any pics as that would be e first thing i would say to someone but i was just curious as i have not seen that one before in my little patch & i dont have a cam to take pics either but if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Jim Grant 4 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 A colour photograph would have been nice. Was it a strong lilac or muted colour. Was the ring a colour or could it have been from where the cap was attached to the stem prior to opening. Mind you even if you could answer these questions I cannot see anything in my book which it might be. However someone with more knowledge might be able to help.

richard25 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi Jim I know, i need to get a camera anyway for the dogs but i may try & borrow one to take some pics of these, as like yourself i could not think of anything like them so they did have me puzzled ( when you think you know you really dont lol ) & there was me thinking i knew mushrooms lol the ring was a white colour & it did look like it came from the cap as it grew & the lilac was quite dull too from a distance i thought i was in luck as some were closed & they looked like puff balls, nearly Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
