Nothing like it on the link. Perhaps it's a new species you've discovered! I don't suppose you'll be eating it, unless you can find more information.Didn’t have to forage far at all today. These have popped up on my lawn. May be 'Glistening inkcap'. Not poisonous, edible, not very flavoursome. Can’t try them out as Mrs Mottie is at home and she's against my latest hobby.

Glistening Inkcap
The powdery ‘mica’ covering can be seen shining when the sun is out but this mushroom has little nutritional value so is best left alone or added to other mushrooms in a dish.

Could be, but most of the pics don't look much like yours.Glistening Inkcap

I think they are all slightly different but there are a couple that look like mine but a lot shinier! Glistening, in fact….

But without the mica dust it says avoid eating incase it’s a woodland inkcap.
Maybe I’ll give this one a miss……….
According to the link, it's hardly worth eating anyway

Easy to spot but they don't taste of much. Very much the tofu of mushrooms. Have you found any?
I saw the beginnings of a puffball in a field once, it was probably about 4” in diameter and thought I’d keep an eye on it but two days later it was smashed - I think it may have been trampled by a cow or another walker. I remember a programme by the wild forager Hugh Fearnley-Wittingstall once where he cooked one. He said they were tasteless and you had to work hard and be very inventive to get some flavour into them.
A mixture of flour and water: yummy
When someone tells me that "pasta is healthy!", I ask for an example.
Typically (if it has any flavour at all), it isn't, because it has cured meats, cream, cheese and suchlike in an on it.
(I don't mind a chicken and pancetta pasta dish myself, but I'm not convinced that the double cream and extra mature cheddar that I mix in - not to mention the garlic bread side - is the food of champions)

So I guess you don’t much like pancakes or bread?
Bread on its own?
(That being the point of my point).
What do you think?
