Infundibulicybe / clitocybe geotropa, Funnel cap, Monks head, Rickstones.

'fungi know no boundries'

The 'Clitocybe geotropa' is a magnificent mushroom to see trooping on the open edges of deciduous woodland. common names include Trooping funnel cap, Monks head, and in Scotland 'rickstones'. Generally making an appearance mid to late October and lasting until mid November and a welcome addition to the basket for drying. As you can see from the pictures they'll easily fill up  a basket, slice one to ensure they are in good condition and haven't be tunnelled by insects.

This one's good but damp,drying will take longer

The caps can grow quite large up to 25cm at times.
