Yellow Fieldcap (Bolbitius titubans) - Family Fieldcaps (Bolbitiaceae) (27/10/2021) Southbank Equestrian, Henfield (in field). Nothing else quite like it given the combo of the cap and other features in the other photos. This is what they look like when they mature - they start out like yellow eggs, then open out and fade but often maintain a yellow centre as here. This is growing on grassland so it is a bit more spindly than the ones growing on woodchip which is apparently allowed!

Yellow Fieldcap (Bolbitius titubans) - Family Fieldcaps (Bolbitiaceae) (02/08/2021) Southbank Barn, Henfield (woodchip pen). This one starting to fully open, as it does so it becomes increasingly lined and as it heads towards its flattish-topped maturity. The colour will increasingly fade to pale but with a yellowish centre. As the cap dries out you often get these pocketed-vein like appearance on the top which is often quite sticky.

Interstingly there was evidence that my horse had eaten some and it actually made him sufficiently ill that we had to call the vet out! So I had to manually remove all these.

Yellow Fieldcap (Bolbitius titubans) - Family Fieldcaps (Bolbitiaceae) (02/08/2021) Southbank Barn, Henfield (woodchip pen). I don't know why these are so dark - in the lower one you can see yellow underneath the orange. I suspect these have dried out and are no longer sticky. For a while I thought this was a flame shield (Pluteus aurantiorugosus) but that is much more orange in colour.
