This has been a very common species on the wood chip piles in the past. Every handful of woodchips sprouted its own growth. It hasn’t been so obvious in the past few years. It has made a reappearence on the back of the big pile by the chapel. One particularly large group is growing clustered in a fused dense mass, with smaller clusters and a few single caps. The caps are quite rounded and precise in shape when they are young, but they become untidy and billowy, while keeping the basic cup/saucer shape. They look somehow folded, deformed. They can grow to be quite large, the biggest here is about 6.5cms across, but they do get bigger then this. The colour is light beige, dark cream, but they dry to white-ish. I have only found them on wood chips.
