Agaricus sylvaticus? A. silvaticus? A. haemorrhoidarius?
This was growing in mixed woodland (also the 5th photo shows both needle-litter and leaf-litter) and blushed red when cap was scratched. According to rogersmushrooms A. haemorrhoidarius grows in deciduous woodland where as A. sylvaticus grows in coniferous woodland: http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/D... Accoring to Wikipedia A. silvaticus grows in coniferous woodland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_si... . NBN Gateway maps A. silvatius and A. haemorrhoidarius as the same species, appearing quite common: http://data.nbn.org.uk/interactive/map.j... and maps A. sylvaticus separately, appearing quite rare: http://data.nbn.org.uk/interactive/map.j... . rogersmushrooms say A. sylvaticus is rare and a separate species from A. haemorrhoidarius. Rogersmushrooms also says A. silvaticus is a seperate species from A. haemorrhoidarius. Are A. silvaticus and A. sylvaticus the same species?
