More m'shroom ID needed...so although the cep and field mushroom harvest is disappointing, I did spot these the other day, on a pile of discarded woodchippings.
They smelt 'right' (very mushroomy) but I have no idea what they are ...
Any help much appreciated.

Hi,
These could be Agrocybe rivulosa - only recently described but increasingly common wood-chip fungi. Here is something I found on the internet:
'Added to the British list in 2004 and has since been found growing all over the country on piles of woodchips. It was first described by Marijke Naute in 2003 from a site in the Netherlands, growing on a pile of woodchips. It can give the appearance of an Agaricus at a first look. The large but thin ring on the stem and wrinkling of the cap as the mushrooms mature are very characteristic. Ref: Ken Burgess'
Is it edible?... Hmmm... do you want to be the first to try?

Description fits rather well, and they definately look like an Agaric ...
Do I want to try, yes, they look and smell good but will I? hmmm, think I might err on the side of caution.
They look so innocent.
Next time I'm over there, I'll do a spore test, maybe that'll help.
