More for I.D please

[wildherbalian85]

and some more including a bizzare looking group Semilanceatas....

1. This amanita has slipped my mind...






2.





3. Ok this is the odd looking groop of Semilanceata's - they where yellow!!! When vicid they should be a caramely colour....




and a normal looking one...



4. Growing in pines

Number one looks to be a Xerula, probably X. radicata. Note the rooting stipe

Two is interesting when you look at the initial image (due to the gill colour) but when you look at the pileus of the second image, the two tone effect tells us that the chances are decent of this being Kuehneromyces mutabilis

Your P. semilanceata are indeed atypical, but this proves the variability of species!

Your last is one of my favourite species of my favourite genus. Cortinarius semisanguineus. The cousin of this species is C. sanguineus which is completely red and also begins to the subgenus Dermocybe. The 'semi' prefix in this instance meaning half of 'sanguineus' translating roughly to 'Part blood', illustrating the partial blood red colouring of the gills.

Thanks again nick

Indeed i had noticed that.. hence the uprooted photo.... For some reason i was thinking that there was an Amanita with a rooted stem... i even recognized that mushroom today and i knew it would have a root.. i have no idea what i was thinking though when i though it was an amanita

[CapAndBracket]

If i remember correctly the amanita with a root grows in church yards.

Cheers J.P.

Well as far as Amanita go, there is one that I'd say has a rooted stem. That species grows exclusively on calcareous soil with Beech and it's called Amanita strobiliformis. I've been lucky enough to view and collect it on more than three occasions, but I don't believe it's common- the habitat around here is spot on for it to grow. In Jordan's book, the image of the described species was taken less than a mile away from where I am writing this post from.

It is a massive species, have a look;



Definitely not what you've got there though!

(Sorry for rambling on! No one ever seems to be interested in this massive species )

Wasn't there one that FK had found mentioned in the spring, i may have got
confused over the years but i seem to remember it being mentioned by
N.legon on my first course that it grew in church yards and was thought to
have come from Newzealand.

Cheers J.P.

looks and sounds familiar but if i where to see that there in the picture i might have dismissed it for an agaric

Not with pure white gills you wouldn't
