Buff agarics on a fallen log
Unidentified agaric Uncertain
Angles captured. Four frames along the log, two showing the gills from below.
Morphology
Two or three fruitbodies. Cap 3–5 cm, buff to pale tan, convex to plane with a slightly depressed centre. Gills pale buff, moderately close. Stipe pale, curved, arising from the underside of the log.
Habitat & substrate
Growing directly from a large mossy fallen log, ferns and litter below.
Lookalikes & what rules them out
Overlaps considerably with TM0028 and TM0029 — possibly the same species at a different stage.
To confirm this identification
Spore print, and a note of whether the flesh is tough or brittle.
