5 Mushrooms IDs

[jhewitt15]

I have no idea what these 5 mushrooms are. they have been bugging me all year and I hope you can sort my problems.

1) found in April in woodland

2) also found in april and is a bracket of some sort?

3) giant mushroom growing from a tree stump in a car park in early May

4) jelly fungus on a tree in late may.

5) citrine waxcap? growing 2 weeks ago on limestone rich soil on heathland.
also among sphagnum moss

Could Number 4 be a really young Chicken of the Woods?

Hi

1 Pluteus cervinus
2 Trametes Gibbosa
3 Polyporus squamosus
4 Laetiporus sulphureus
5 Possibly Hygrocybe citrinovirens. Would help if we could see the gills

Spot on Rob

1 is too small for a vague ID,
2 looks to be Trametes gibbosa - Lumpy Bracket
3 is a young polypore, probably Polyporus squamosus - Dryad's Saddle
4 as Rob says is a young Laetiporus sulphureus - Chicken of the woods.

Not sure about 5...it looks delicate, like a hygrocybe, but i'm not sure.

But I did get one right - I'm getting better at this fungus malarky, not bad for a zoologist.

Thanks Nick but I'll settle for better. When I see what some of you guys can ID I've still got a long way to go.

Not bad at all Rob. I'll expect to see you at Clumber for the grand WAB foray
