Re: Help needed with some fungi ID's

These are the ones I found yesterday. They have a viscid cap and stipe and broadly adnate gills. They do look very like the ones Barbara found, so hers may be the same species.



Microscopically they have regular long gill trama, basidia are short (25-34um), spores are smallish average 7.3 x4um, with many slightly constricted. Which means they are Hygrocybe glutinipes.

And no, they aren't yellow, or very red (H glutinipes var rubra), but seem to be intermediate between the two. Last year and this year they have been consistently this colour on this site.
