Blue Roundhead - Stropharia caerulea

This is a medium sized fungus with a smooth sticky cap.  The colour of the cap is deep blue-green, fading to yellowish, with scattered  fragments of white veil.   The stem is whitish, with woolly white scales below the ring.  The gills are dark without a white edge when mature.  The smell is insignificant. 

Verdigris Roundhead Stropharia aerunginosa has darker gills with a distinct white edge; it is less common than the Blue Roundhead. 

The Peppery Roundhead Stropharia pseudocynaea is occasional in Leicestershire & Rutland; it is also blue-green but has a smell of fresh black-pepper, and a faint ring-zone

The Aniseed Funnelcap Clitocybe odora also has a blue-green cap, but without scales, and smells strongly of aniseed.
