Fungus Id`s please

[pammosley]

Hi everyone. I thought I`d better make an effort & try to identify all the fungus I have photographed durring the year. I`m starting with these, taken last week. Can anyone help with this first one, found under an Oak tree. It was about 1 1/2 inch diameter. The nearest I can find is Russula Atropurpurea. ( I only have basic guides!)






I think this one is Jelly antler fungus, Calocera viscosa



And is this, Many zoned polypore, Coriolus veriscolor



Thanks for your time.

1. amethyst deceiver
2. calocera viscosa
3. many zoned polypore - I think its latin name is trametes versicolor

[leifus]

1 - Amethyst Deceiver - Laccaria amethystina
2 - Yellow Stagshorn - Calocera viscosa
3 - Many-zoned Polypore - Trametes versicolor

Well done Pam!

Hi boys, thanks for your help. The purple one that you say is Amethyst deciever doesn`t have a purple stem like it says it should have in my book, does it change latter in life? I know that things can vary greatly, thats why I have put off ID ing my fungus for so long, I can see it being a mine field!!!
Thanks for your help, Pam

I am actually thinking about the first one bein wood blewit - lepista nuda

[Stewy]

The first is not an Amethyst Deceiver, more likely Lepista nuda Wood Blewit

[pammosley]

Wood blewit looks more like mine I think, will see if I can find it.
Thanks for your help, Pam

Hi,

That positively is not an Amethyst deceiver but more likely to be a Wood Blewit, even though the colours are rather strong the gills are all wrong for Laccaria and it is way too robust, Lepista nuda for me.

Looks like Cortinarius terpsichores to me (courtesy of the front cover of Courtecuisse!).
