I was surprised and delighted to come across these beautiful cinnamon-coloured mushrooms growing in rough grass at Dunedin Botanic Garden on 29 April 2021 (autumn in New Zealand). I didn’t see any others like them.

The mushrooms are very handsome, indeed. Do you know if they are edible?

Thanks Tanja! I have no idea about edibility sorry.

I also know next to nothing about edibility of mushrooms, Liz, and I’m fine with that. Eating the wrong kind of mushroom could be a very costly mistake!

Very nice, Liz, and dinner rolls first popped into my mind, too.

The smoothness is as appealing as the color; they’re really quite attractive.

They looked really lovely, it was an unexpected pleasure to see them! I’d hoped I might spot some interesting fungi that day but at this point I’d given up .. when hey presto these turned up!

They look like a lot of little bread rolls! I like the colour of them. 🙂

Lovely colour indeed. Cute little rolls, or in my case they make me think of brown eggs!

Oh. yes! Some are definitely egg-shaped and just the right colour!
