Useful information. I found what I thought were Calocybe gambosa today and this has helped confirmed my suspicions. I particularly liked the bit about the fleshiness in relation to gills.
Thank you for the great video just came across a load of these wasn’t sure so I checked them on my app and like you said there was a circle of them and the grass was flush around the circle taking a few home for tea tonight going to do some in some garlic butter on a bit of bread-and-butter lovely 👌👍
As formally trained in mycology and once working in industry as a mycologist, the most damaging thing to the continued growth and hence year after year re-occurrence of such mushrooms is not to destroy the actual subsurface ring habitat where the bulk of the mycelia is of course. Although bizillions of spores can be released few will go on to establish new colonies. Picking carefully with a sharp clean knife and also not yanking the entire mushroom (which can include much material which can serve as inoculum. I know you say it's easily identified however, I'd caution anyone who is not formally trained in mushroom ID to go with someone who is to begin with or to go with someone who does "know what they are doing" meaning they have a also a good track record of not foolishly poisoning themselves.
I have eaten over 60 wild edibles with no training. Plenty of information out there for anyone to discern. You can identify anything using the Internet.
does this ever grow in woodland ? found some very similar looking mushrooms growing between a beech and some holly next to an area on a driveway where i was working today
this mushroom grows wild in my third of an acre in essex (never been ploughed) comes up in different places year on year - this year tis a ring of smallish ones (so far) i planted some in a bag of soil last year and they have come up too - without grass. why not plant a mushroom (fruiting body)in your garden and get them every year. also amongst the ring are some 'disfigured' ones - a clump of big stems and tiny tops?? is it a st georges too but just a natural weird one? thought calocybe was only one this time of year?
Love your Videos Milo. Picked a kilo of these on this St. George's Day morning. Had some for breakfast and they were superb !

It highly unlikely you found at George’s mushrooms fruiting now in the uk. I suspect you might have something else unfortunately.
It was a late Response I found them in early May and they were lovely 👍
Very informative! Have you ever found the poisonous look-alike Entoloma sinuatum?

Great video thanks! I've got a crop in my garden :-)

Are these really mycorrhizal? Cause according to what i've read these are living saprotroph on dead gras. Or can it be both?
Superb. Thank you.
Found some that look just like this today (1st May) but under the ground ivy in a wood. Any ideas anyone?
They do actually grow in woodland sometimes.
Picked over 2kg's yesterday.
naughty
Found some (i hope) yesterday at the side of a forest path. Just had them in an omelette. Still had a slight taste of the mealy smell. Not for me.
They make very good mushroom sauces for pastas etc, I agree that they are a bit to mealy when fried or in an omelette...
I found more and will be having in a rabbit stew to test.
I found some today..if it's st George mushrooms...they really smell like dryad saddle like cucumber 🥒....but that's me.
They always trim the grass and everything is destroyed. Never can find something
They smell like Oregano 😀
