| | More mushroom finds. This first I declare to be larch bolete - Suillus grevillei 
The next are I think a brown birch bolete but not definite on it. 
How these tiny things caught my eye I will never know,I had to pick one to look at with a magnifying glass when I got home,the pics aren;t great point and click camera sadly.They are really tough little things too.

Cheers J.P. | Although they look almost white in my photo I think they must be horse hair fungus going on size colour and toughness.
thanks for the hint  
Just got to see if I am right on the brown bolete now

Just got to see if I am right on the brown bolete now  | The first two are correct Village Wench - the tiny little thing is Marasmius rotula - very common, especially at this time of year.

I got some right..............finally.
Of course it helped that the Suillus grevillei were absolute replicas of the specimens in the book  The Leccinum scabrum were less easy,but growing under the birch tree was a big clue 
Thanks for the help people.
