This first growing under oak in mixed parkland.

Slowly turned grey/blue on cutting.

This next growing on a very old rotting stump,so I couldn't tell what the tree was.

This next growing in open grassland.

Hi Karen
I think the first is Boletus luridiformis (formerly erythropus) The second could be a very young ganoderma and the last one an Agaricus but which I wouldn't like to say

Yay

I was actually and honestly going to say I thought the first was B.erythropus,as that's what it is called in the Phillips book I have,but then I was worried about being wrong again

Thanks

When you have put forward as many duff suggestions as I have Karen then you can start to worry but that is what this learning curve is all about.

Don't ever worry about being wrong Karen - that's the way one learns !

I won't say how many times I was completly and wildly 'off key' when I first started very many years ago !!

Is that really B Luridiformus? I thought when cut the flesh was yellow and turned blue almost immediately (not white/grey and turning blue slowly as in the pictures). I would be grateful if one of you could confirm this.
