Random fungi from Nine Ladies

I don't know what they are but they looked nice (If a bit old and chewed) any one have any ideas.

Might be Amanita fulva. Just a word of advice- If you want an ID from a photograph, take as much information from the scene as possible. These things will help the chances of you ascertaining an ID.

Size range of specimens
Smell of specimens
Taste of specimens (when confident enough to do so)
Substrate (What it was growing on- what trees were nearby)
Any colour changes when cut or bruised

Even with these all accurate and clear, you're in no way guaranteed an ID. Many species can only be distinguished microscopically, but that's another kettle of fish. In some cases, it's easily plausible to get an ID from a photograph alone, mainly with the more common specimens that don't appear atypically so much- There are some species which are just so unique that they are easily ID'd. On the other hand, perhaps 95% of fungi, aren't in that category.

Hi

with that grooved margin could it be an old Amanita fulva - Tawny Grisette ?

Cheers for the advice Nick I'll include more details in future.

I did wonder about tawny grissette but I had no real idea as it was quite old.
