Hey guys, thought i'd post my first Fungi ID's. Trying to get into looking at fungi more, never did before as they used to gross me out

especially the ones that grew on trees.

Both of these found on moorland in Yorkshire Dales

Thanks.

It's a Hygrocybe sp. of some sort by the looks of it.

Andy will put you right - eventually.

The crafty so & so is probably waiting for me to have a stab at these, make myself look silly (again !) and then move in for the kill.

We're a cunning lot here.

Neil.

You're spot on Stew, it's a Hygrocybe

I would imagine even Andy would struggle with this as the stem is not shown.
It is important to remember to always include a picture of the whole fungus showing the whole stem.

This is besides showing the underside of the cap so that we can see how the gills are attached.
