White cap on a mossy log
Unidentified agaric Uncertain
Angles captured. Two from above on the moss, one low profile showing the stipe.
Morphology
Cap 4–5 cm, white to very pale cream, convex flattening to plane, smooth, margin slightly wavy. Stipe white, short and stout. Flesh appears firm.
Habitat & substrate
Growing out of a thick moss carpet on a large fallen log, ferns nearby.
Lookalikes & what rules them out
White-capped agarics are unresolvable from above. Amanita cannot be excluded.
To confirm this identification
The underside and the stipe base. Treat any all-white gilled mushroom as potentially deadly until the base is checked.
