Malvern Mushrooms

Not long back from a walk on the Malverns.  Not far or energetic as Gill had another migraine overnight and I decided to carry my tripod and full frame camera.

These two mushrooms were at the top of the steps up from the British Camp car park and looked really good every time the clouds moved from in front of the sun.  Bright and breezy on top,  the wind was coming from the Herefordshire side so lunch was eaten on a bench just down from the ridge looking into Worcestershire.

The tops of the mushrooms are ~120mm across - probably 180mm tall.
No idea what variety,  but there were a few more singles seen on the same side of the ridge,  all in open grassy areas.

Edit: Parasol variety (young Macrolepiota procera) ? 
Thanks to Nicoiseannie for the pointer
The video on this web site does appear to show the features well .


One in the extra of the view to the North from the slopes of British Camp.
