Bolbitius titubans (Yellow Fieldcap Mushroom)
The fruit bodies are small mushrooms. The caps are bright yellow, smooth and slimy when young. They start off more or less hemispherical but with age they open out to a shallow con-like shape and sometimes they become quite flat. The cap colour fades to brownish. Mature caps may be up to five centimetres in diameter and have striations away from the centre. The gills are brown when the spores are mature and the mushrooms give a reddish-brown spore print. The stem is white to yellowish, up to 10 centimetres long and fragile. This species is found in grassy areas, in particular in 'waste' areas with dense, lanky grasses, or in well-fertilised areas (e.g. in dung-enriched soil, and this fungus is also found growing on dung). The species has also been known as Bolbitius vitellinus.
