Re: Help needed with some fungi ID's

hi Barbara

with the exception of the dark one (possibly an Entoloma) these are all waxcaps Hygrocybe species
it is always useful to see how the gills are attached to the stem with this group - also gill colour, and notes on whether the cap and/or stem are slimy or sticky or dry to the touch are important; I wouldn't feel confident to go further, though others on the site may well

best wishes (and keep encouraging your daughter)

Chris
