Given the large size and the excentric stem I had assumed Pleurotus and, until yesterday, had not thought about it nor looked any further at it after collecting the specimens. The microscope showed this fungus to have colourless, warty spores – so not a species of Pleurotus. Lepista – or something closely related.
