| Re: Fungus for id
As Ken says this a 'get a feeling' species and after foraying in the New Forest last year and finding loads of rosea and pura growing within the same woodland it seemed there were obvious differences between the different sets of troops. I haven't seen anything resembling rosea up this end but have seen a plentiful supply of pura. By the way whilst foraying at Tatton I have found pura to be growing in grassy areas at least 75 feet away from beech trees. When they are washed out this can be quite a head-scratching moment. I have recently found Mycena diosma which had me pondering pura but after the cap had dried to give the two tone effect and receiving external confirmation could I be happy with the ID. The smell of fags should have got me closer to the species but there you go.
