Pink slimy mushrooms

[wildherbalian85]

Found these (and more) scattered in open woods they had slimy caps....





next lots were found on a pasture with horses around 70 meters or so from the first lot, these too had slimy caps...



and finally found very close to some dung on the pasture more of what i think look like the ones in the first pictures only the caps wern't so slimy on this lot...

Thanks J.P

...am i to assume that those in the 3rd lot are a different kind of mushroom to those in the first?? The lot in the 3rd lot where on a Field some 60 - 70 meters from the nearest tree.

I think your first one is rosea and the third is pura wich although is usually found in woods can also grow in grassland.

I am thinking the second one could be an entoloma sp. because I sent a similar looking one in for ID a few months back and got entoloma sp. as the ID.

I agree, number 2 looks like an Entoloma - something close to E. sericeum, but with a couple of exceptions I would never put a species name to an Entoloma without resorting to the microscope . . .

there are, after all over 200 Entoloma taxa on the British list!
