Sussex/Surrey fungi

[Morchella]

Been in West Sussex and Surrey for the weekend and have 3 I'm not sure about. Hope someone can help me out






The fibrous-looking cap was making me think Inocybe but now I'm not so sure that the pink-ish gills don't remind me of Entoloma. The log was too decomposed to ID, but the woodland was mainly lime and oak.


This one near Hindhead I'm afraid refused to photograph nicely despite lots of adjustments. Didn't want to get left behind so had to abandon. Under a holly bush but in beech woodland.




These were growing in grass but I suspect there is some dead wood or roots down there. The nearest tree was a large birch. I am leaning toward Entoloma again but on the other hand can't find anything that seems to match the colour.

HELP!!!!

No1 Growing on wood and if you look at the gills you will see the inter-veining consistent with Mycena galericulata. The cap has dried out a bit but it still looks like that to me.

Hi Morchella,

The one you suspect to be Entoloma looks more likely to be a Collybia- possibly C. butyracea.

The last is one of the turquoise Stropharia- Either S. aeruginosa or S. caerulea- more likely to be the latter due to the lack of white fibrillous remnants and ring remains, which often macroscopically separates the species.

Thanks Mal and Nick. Nick, do you mean the middle one when you mentioned Collybia or the top one that I thought was Entoloma? The middle one does look like a Collybia though smaller than the ones I've seen before.

I do mean the middle one is the Collybia, yes. The first is a Mycena as Mal says

We were walking just north of Singleton. To be honest not as many fungi about as I'd hoped. We did see an oil well though, complete with nodding donkeys, which was a bit bizarre in the middle of a wood.
