Ballpark guess, anyone?

My container yesterday was about full of chanterelles and king boletes, so I was only able to take pictures of what appeared to be fairly numerous specimens of...?


Emerging from the ground


The underside, which presents a fairly impressive veil.


Gills, not delicate at all, at first glance.

I plan to go back, if the weather and my gas tank hold, and do a proper specimen collection. Any tentative guesses?

Cheers...

Do be careful. The British papers currently are full of a story about how the author of The Horse Whisperer poisoned himself and his family with mushrooms they picked on an outing.

Yeah, heard about that.

Which is part of why I don't mix stuff I'm sure of with anything else (and take a good hard look at stuff I'm sure of before throwing it in a cooking container).

There's also the issue of geography to consider.

Cheers...
