Know these Mushrooms?


Found in the meadow next to our property, these aromatic mushrooms have dense stocks and have perfect white flesh with fins under the cap in the bigger mushrooms that have popped open. The little mushroom ( about an inch and a half in diameter...is pure white and dense inside, much like a store bought mushroom) .These grow in grass in many of the fields nearby. They just keep on growing until the top of the mushroom is the size of a dinner plate. At this stage, they look and smell good enough to eat, but as we all know...don't eat what you don't know... so I will sastify myself with photos of them for now, unless some knowledgeable person comes to my rescue. They seem to grow in bunches of three or more and are about 5.5 inches to 6 inches tall. They pop out of the grass and are often unseen under the leaves.



Cute as a button mushroom!
