These mushrooms (species unidentified) had caps the colour of pale caramel.The caps of the maturer mushrooms had a rim which waved up and down.
The younger ones had a domed cap.
They were growing on a lawn near West Park, so I couldn’t get nearer for a closer inspection.

Washed-out verdigris agaric

They were growing on wood chip mulch in a plant bed by the ring road and the Molyneux ground.
