A mushroom on Ulva Island growing from the mossy forest floor. Just as I spotted this, a tour guide walked past with a couple of people and said the name of the species but I don't remember what they said - I think it began with "L"?

@BjornIdle lightheaded/lovely hallucination shroom? :,D
@Heliograph 🤣 Maybe that was it...!
@BjornIdle  ... was what?  

@Heliograph

aLliteration Mushroom

...But, if they are Inocybe Lilacina as someone else has suggested (and the description and pics do look like a possibility), then those are apparently really toxic!

@BjornIdle awesome!!!    just know this #fungi #shroom thing 

@Heliograph @BjornIdle Honestly people. No. Just no. Don't you know anything? On Agaricus (edible) the volva attaches _under_ the cap. On Amanita phalloides aka death cap (only edible once, as Terry Pratchett ? pointed out) the volva encloses the cap, so once the shroom comes through the remnants look quite different. And then: spore print. (You do always do spore prints, right?) Agaricus: brown. Amanita: white.

See? Not identical.

(Okay. Seriously? Do not mess around with anything that could be Amanita. And that does, sadly, include Agaricus if you're a shroom beginner.)
