    Hi - my first post on here.

    Just taken a break from mowing the lawn (aka field), rescuing frogs and picking mushrooms to see if anyone on here knows what type of mushrooms I have growing in my lawn and around my borders.

    Its been a very very wet summer so far in the UK and I think I have more mushrooms in the garden than the local supermarket has on its sheves !!!

    Not too bothered about eating them but as I have children who play in the garden I wouldn't mind knowing if they are poisonous or just an annoyance.

    Thanks
    Dom

    Psahyrella sp.
    Similar to Psatyrellla lacrymabunda, but micro characters is needed.
