Hi

This was found under a birch tree, there were quite a few of them around the base of the tree.

same mushroom :-

This was found in a dark area under conifers with mixed ornamental trees around and the ground was covered in ivy, it is about 15 cms or so in diameter there were some younger specimens about 8 or 9 cms round buttons

These were growing in open grassland with mixed trees nearby.

Any help would be most appreciated as this is a new venture for me. also photography is a new venture as you have probably guessed

Cheers guys

guess they must be a little too difficult for you guys to ID, never mind better luck next time ;-)

I thought I was doing well tonight, but now you gone and spoilt it all.

Oh well, here goes :

No 1, 2, and 3. A Hebeloma sp.
No 4. Is like taking a photo of a girls knickers and asking what's her name.
No 5, 6. Oh dear, it will be time for bed soon. (pass !!)
