I saw this in some pasture, amongst grass, at the weekend.

Having thought it was sure to be readily recognisable, I have been told that even the genus is uncertain.

The image has been cropped and the stereo is crosseye.

    The owner of the farm where it found it is also knowledgeable about the mushrooms which grow there. She was surprised to see my images of such a speckled individual.

    It seems that, after microscopic examination of "speckles" brushed from fresh specimens, it is likely that they are pollen from Deodar Cedars on the neighbouring land.
