can you post a photo?

I'm trying to post a pic but it doesn't want to do it from my phone, so just about to hop onto the laptop to do it....sorry i will not be a minute

Photos are now on. The laptop does have its uses now and then.

i have seen these before but I cant remember their name sorry . and I cant find my fungus filed guide eitehr.

Thats a shame. Not uncommon though by the sounds of it. They are very pretty with that marbled effect.

Try looking up 'Cup fungi' ( Pezizaceae) it might fit with one of those?

Thanks DRC! I have found a similar one in a book of mushrooms. It seems to fit with the Peziza variety as you suggested. The book only shows three kinds of these, mine are most likened to Badia but are lighter in colour. Always find mushrooms so interesting.

Yes So do I and I love the taste.

Badia are really dark. My books have lots of pezizas, but none with that pretty shading. They all grow on different substrates from rotting wood to wet sandbags!

There are more and more appearing and they just grow in size, some are like golf ball size now. No stems either in character with Peziza. Lovely marble effect when they get bigger.
