ID help needed (www.inaturalist.org)

Edit: After a bit of research and asking around, it seems that this is likely Cystolepiota bucknallii

Hi! I came across this strange little thing last week and have been struggling to ID it. I'm hoping that maybe someone here can help.

It was found growing in the soil of a mixed forrest, lots of birch, elder, and larch, 10km or so north of the German alps.

Maybe the photo isn't super clear, but the stem is not hollow. And one very distinct feature is that it stank like gasoline or hot plastic. The smell was strong and lingered on my hands long after handling it.

Thank you!

I would absolutely love to grow my own, but I unfortunately don't have the space :(

What are you growing?

3 for 3! Do you also collect wild mushrooms? (Though there is also one teeny tiny penny bun tucked in there)

Thanks! There is no specific recipe that I use, but it's basically Cacio e Pepe with pan fried mushrooms and a bit of shallot (no other veg).

A colleague asked if they could join me on a mushroom hunt, we were lucky and found some beautiful wild mushrooms!

I wass lucky enough to find some morels while walking the dog today, so I made pasta with morels and wild garlic and a cocktail made with homemade elder syrup.

Close! The chocolate swirls are chocolate cake batter piped onto the baking paper and briefly baked so they hold their shape, then I poured on the vanilla batter and finished baking as instructed.

No need to break in, I'd happily share :) Also, hope you're feeling better soon!

I'm usually very bad at decorating cake, so hopefully this one is nice enough to be considered food porn!

Probably the healthiest decision I've made in the last 24 hours!

This photo looks like something straight out of a cookbook! It looks really tasty OP :)
