Help to identify largish, fawn/pink funnel fungus

[Bruce Williams]

On grass/moss near a large lake in Berkshire, 30th Oct. There were quite large numbers of this species in small groups. As far as I could tell they didn't seem to be associated with any one particular species of tree.

Help much appreciated.

Hello Bruce,

It looks like Lactarius torminosus (Woolly Milkcap)... Or Lactarius pubescens (Bearded Milkcap) ?

Thanks ecmyco, having checked the detailed description in Jordan and compared with several pics on the web I think it's almost certainly Lactarius torminosus .
