A few firsts for me today....

The first I'm pretty sure is Amanita excelsa var. spissa growing in mixed woodland.



The second I've no idea on - keep flitting between Tricholoma and Clitocybe, in mixed woodland with birch. cap 8cm, cystidia absent, no spore print:mad:.



And the third - Leucopaxillus giganteus? cap 20cm on roadside by mixed woods.



Apologies (again) for the poor photography, I've got a new camera in the post so you won't have to put up with it for much longer!:cool:

1 - i think this could be a Pleurotus species, not too sure as i've got very little experience of them. found lots growing up a fissure in a decidious tree ranging in size from a few mm to around 7cm took one back for further study, spore print was White.


2 - think this could be Marasmius wynnei. only got this pic, didnt take any home though the gills were white, and they were growing from a small branch in sycamore/beech leaf litter.


3 - i've posted this species before, growing inside a stump in a clump. spore print reddy-brown and pictured. previous thread with it in is here http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...ew-others.html (third ones down)


and finally 4 - no idea on this, thought it could be an agaric or a cortinarius (though no actual veil remnants may well rule this out) it was growing in short(ish) grass. stood out to me for some reason, i think the speckled yellow-brown cap was the reason. anyway, the spore print was white, ring on stem, 5-7 cm across. check it out!


as always many thanks for any suggestions
cheers

I found it behind my shed, underneath beech/oak and scots pine (predominantly beech/oak) in a very protected area. Coming up from the leaf litter. It's large (heads are about 6in across). I'm in Dorset.

If you need any further info. Just let me know. Could it be an Oyster Mushroom? Pleurotus ostreatus?

I found this mushroom growing in a field and it does not bruise when cut. It also has a faint smell of nuts but nothing particularly overpowering. The cap is about 8cm across. I did the checks on roger's mushrooms but didn't come up with any positive results so I looked through the visual key and thought it most resembled a Melanoleuca arcuata Rogers Mushrooms - Melanoleuca arcuata Mushroom. However the gills on my specimen are brown, not white as for the Melanoleuca arcuata.






Any ideas on what this is are appreciated. ]]> Fungi Forums wildfoodie http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/fungi-forums/63129-mushroom-help.html http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/fungi-forums/63126-fungi.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:20:06 GMT Are these Leccinum scabrum, Brown Birch Bolete ?
