I have titled this a toadstool, but the more I look at this I believe it may be a mushroom.

Possibly someone can advise.

Found in my front lawn. £10 for size comparison.

this is where I spent the afternoon

The first series of Star Trek could have used the top of this toadstool as an exciting planet set. If the actors had only been millimeters high.

National Trust Property, Lyveden New Bield. Built by Sir Thomas Tresham between 1595 and 1605. He was a strict Catholic during the reign of Elizabeth I and his Lodge was covered in religious symbolism. He spent periods of his life in prison and under house arrest because he would not renounce his faith. In 1605 his son Francis was inplicated in the Gunpowder Plot and died a traitor in the Tower of London, because of this the lodge was never finished.

...or is it a mooring point near Clarence Dock?

See where this picture was taken. [?]

We saw these on our walk on the nature reserve

I really like the debris on top of this toadstool, and the bite marks of a small animal.
