Scaly cap in litter
Unidentified agaric Uncertain
Angles captured. Two from above, one from below showing a speckled or poroid underside.
Morphology
Cap 6–8 cm, buff with darker appressed scales, dry. The underside in the third frame appears finely pitted rather than gilled.
Habitat & substrate
Leaf litter, same stretch as the previous entry.
Lookalikes & what rules them out
If the underside is genuinely poroid this is not an agaric at all, which would change the identification entirely. The frame is not sharp enough to be sure.
To confirm this identification
Gills or pores. Everything else waits on that.
Notes
Second of the three. See the previous entry.
