    It could be a kind of hygrophorus speciosus. The wiki says US but the entry for hygrophorus includes UK.

    Goes without saying, but probably don’t eat it, especially not off internet identification.

        Cool! Take a couple of pictures from different angles next time, and I’m sure people here will love to try and ID it. (Don’t be afraid to touch any mushroom, just tell small kids not to touch them.)

    For gilled mushrooms, a photo of the underside is usually necessary for ID. That said, I don’t think it’s one I know.

      Possibly. Or an Amanita, or a whole range of other things… very hard to tell with just this one picture.

      (My very uninformed, stab-in-the-dark guess would be Amanita vaginata actually.)

          I think you can only add one image to the post itself but in the body of the post you can add more images using the image button (next to bold, italic etc)

        Don’t think it’s an amanita because it doesn’t have spots on the cap (which I believe is one of the ways to distinguish). Could be wrong though.

          Look up Orange Grisette or Tawny Grisette. Both amanitas, neither have spots.
