Dear Raghu Ji, Nice to know that I could help you. Thanks for your response . As I am bit busy these days I always don't get a time to identify all fungi but I keep the photos with me when ever I get time I try to identify them. Hence my responses may be late some time. You photo was really nice and it compelled me to identify it. Regards Tanay
