Hi
Some images here of Mushrooms found on grassland - after a not too fruitful exploration through the woodlands i came out of the woods and crossed the grassed area to get back to my car. Here is where I found many more interesting beautiful examples.
here goes ...   
A real beauty - Surely a member of the same family as fly agaric...?
Cap approx 110mm
Stem 140mm high and 20-30 mm thick.  
A cute firm red/purple sample with nicely bulbous cap
Cap approx 50mm
Stem approx 40mm and 30mm thick - although tapering.  
Loved the amazing crumbly top on this one.
Cap approx 110mm
Stem 120mm and 20mm ish thick.  
A small cluster of chest-nutty blobs - looked quite edible - but I have no plans to eat anything until I am very sure of what it is.
Sizes varied massively here - but the largest here was about golf ball sized.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

1 looks like an old Amanita pantherina (Same family as Fly Agaric  ). I'd have said Blusher but there seems to be a volval bag attached to the bottom of the stem. Plus, I don't see much Blushing!
2 is a Russula.
3 Is Amanita rubescens
Not sure about 4,

just looked at your website Nick - Nice stuff - and I came across your <The Charcoal Burner - Russula cyanoxantha >.
It looks a little like my No 2. above - No? |

Nick | I think no. 4 is another Russula isn't it Nick - one of the ' Pectinatae' - something in the amoenolens group ??

Number one is a Panther Cap - Amanita Pantherina
Often they have a ring (some times 2) that is at the base of the stem, this ring normaly has a very slight in-groove | | |
