Thanks ernie...been a-googling which you obviously have, but no joy so far....

Toadstool and short haired seem spot on...

May be if y ou gave a couple of other examples that you already have, it may help to figure " the mind set" of the quizzer.

Off to watch a film,,,but many a clever person will be at hand...night night.

toadstool looks right to me.
Black toadstool was my best guess but not much evidence to support it.
