Dear Garg Ji and others, as Richard Lehman says, if this mushroom does not look like any North European species, I can't tell you either, what it is. To identify a mushroom one needs much more information. You have shown already the top and the underside of it. But in the nature you would look around and see in which surrounding it is growing - which trees are around -, is it solitery or there are many more standing around, you would smell it, press it a bit to find out how it reacts, if the old and young samples look different, change their color, change the shape of the "hat" when they get old (this you notice when there are a few samples around) etc.etc. Some mushrooms have a very characteristic appearance, and those can be identifier at just one glance. Hope someone in India will help to identify it. Regards Nalini ----- Original Message ----- From: J.M.

Forwarding again for Id assistance pl. Earlier relevant feedback: A message from Rakesh ji's friend Richard Lehman in UK: "Thanks Rakesh - I must buy a book on Indian fungi! This does not look like any North European species, certainly not like a typical Mycena, as these a small fragile things with wispy stems in this part of the world. Just on general morphology, I'd guess a Pluteus perhaps. But it's probably from a genus I've never even heard of. Richard" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: J.M.
