Appeared with my green beans in a tomato plant bag. Don't look like the ones I can google. Any suggestions, please?

A mushroom of some sort. I wouldn’t eat it.

They might be chanterelles. My guess is that they may have used a proportion of spent mushroom compost in the tomato bag mix.

But then again, they might be something toxic, anywhere between stomach ache and serious effects/deadly. So I definitely wouldn't eat them.

Thanks @ErrolTheDragon. Too big for chanterelles, I think. Definitely not going to eat them, we once had mushrooms in the lawn, or so I thought until my ddad told me they were destroying angels Blush.

But you are probably right could be because of mushroom compost.

Definitely not chanterelles! That shape is described as a "Clitocybe-like outline" and you definitely don't want to mess with Clitocybe.

I wouldn't have thought they'd come from the spent mushroom compost. Mushroom growers would want their compost to be free of any other fungus - too much chance of litigation. But it's not uncommon to find ordinary bags of compost generating fungus fruiting bodies.

Thanks MereDintofPandiculation
I'm still none the wiser, there were lots of them in one bag. Wish they had been Chantelles Smile.
