| Re: Fungi for id/confirmation Thanks Nick.
Blimey, I was well off for the third one. Could Lepista nuda grow on wood? (I have seen many fungi that usually grow on soil such as Clitocybe butyracea on wood.) I think I need to improve my collection notes. Hohum.
My suspicion for the first one is Cortinarius hinnuleus. The mouldy/earthy smell, distant gill and colour fit. The stem lacks the usual banding though, which leaves doubts in my mind, though it is a variable species. I am pretty sure I would have sectioned a specimen, but clearly I did not note anything unusual, apart from the smell. |
