Re: East Sussex IDs please

Thanks particularly to Neil.

1 and 2 I concede are the same but not mycena pura or laccaria lacatta
3 still no idea but will take another 'photo showing the underside (however, Gymnopilus penetrans could be a "go-er"
4 Agree some sort of Lactarius (thought this after posting them on the website as I cut into one that I collected and it exuded a yellow liquid)
5 Collybia erythropus is, I think, a good call but if so, my books say that it is quite rare ?
6/7 agree with everyone that they are Lycoperdon pyriforme (Stump Puffball). Go easy on Chris (Lyon) as he called them common puffballs (Lycoperdon perlatum).

In another thread that I instigated, I mentioned that I had found loads of Horns of Plenty and they tasted delicious. What I didn't mention was that I nearly completely missed them. I had stopped walking as I had found a hornets nest and I knelt down on the ground below and the floor nearby was covered in Horns of Plenty and then further down a large bank. So...don't run when you see hornets ! I'll try and post a 'photo of the Horns of Plenty.
