I have a hunch but could you cut the base of one of the stems and see if it is a redish colour in there ???

Could be a Clitopilus prunulus,which are edible.But can be mistaken for a Clitocybe houghtonii which is poisnous.I found some last year in a birch wood with wood chippings on the floor and thought i'd struck fungi gold as there were loads of them but couldn't be certain which type they were so decided against eating them.....
Here's a link to them both,it's upto you to decide which one you've got,personally i would err on the side of caution and not bother :thumbs:

Clitocybe houghtonii--inedible
Clitopilus prunulus--edible

If the stem had been redish when cut and the gills are not on the stem I would have thought that it was a false chanterelle but if its white I would say its a Clitocybe houghtonii

This is no good as an online game as we will never know if you did one way or the other. You could be running around the plaace thinking you are a bunny wabbit for days and then not remember that you only had half a mushroom. :whistling:
