Yellowing Knight

Information
Additional Notes: 

Habitat: On soil, often calcareous, in deciduous woodland. Most frequently reported with Fagus, but also known with Betula spp. on heathland. Notes: Occasional but widespread and may be locally common. Most records of 'Tricholoma argyraceum' are probably this species. Ref:BC Much easier to tell this species when the basidiomes start to die/ decayed - the lamellae become bright yellow, and none of the other grey Tricholoma species do this, thus diagnostic for T. scalpturatum Ref: Nick Legon 

Scalpturatum  means "felty, with a scaly cap". 

Wrinkled Peach

Information
Additional Notes: 

Habitat: On fallen and decayed wood of deciduous trees. Usually on Ulmus spp., less commonly on Acer campestre, A. pseudoplatanus, Fagus and Fraxinus. Rarely on Populus and Quercus spp. Notes: Occasional but may be locally common in southern England, with a single recent record from Scotland (Clyde Islands: Chatelherault). Particularly common on elm wood during the epidemic of Dutch elm disease. Re: BC
