The Mushroom marks the summit Wainwright chose for Scout Scar in his guidebook to the Outlying Fells of Lakeland. In fact, the true summit of Scout Scar is a short walk to the south, as indicated by a trig pillar.
It's undoubted that Wainwright chose this spot, closer to the edge of the scarp, because it provides a sumptuous view of the tumultuous Lakeland skyline to the north west.
