Hi Guys, I had a good day Saturday at Sirhowy Valley. As usual I'm not sure on names but have attempted some ... so there's some work for you guys to confirm / correct my guesses and let me know what the others are if possible.

I'm getting better, have taken some undersides aswell !

There are a lot more but I'll pace myself!
Cheers

Thanks Chris
Any ideas on the white crinkly one ? Anyone?

maybe angels wings for the crinkled one or white saddle. a wild guess

Very wild

I'd say that this (unless there is something existent that has the aesthetics of that specimen) is unidentifiable due to decay.

Sounds about right with my record!

Thanks everyone ... better luck with my next ones.

Hallo,

just fell over the picture of the 2nf fungus in the Gallery :-)

I'm quite certain that this is a Deciever (Laccaria laccata) Those decievers (also the violet one) not so rarely grow in teratologic forms, which give them a morel-like outfit.

best regards,
Andreas

I would second your suggestion of species Andreas, definitely. I just have trouble coming to terms with such a fungus growing on the substrate shown. I have images of wretched, gnarled old Laccaria specimens like this L. proxima;

Great stuff Andreas, this just may well have confirmed an hypothesis put forward by Fungi Ken and Mykonik to an old unresolved query of mine when I was very green around the gills (or should I have said pink) LOL

P.S. Having Googled 'teratologic', thanks also for expanding my vocabulary

Hallo David,

yes, this are exactly the forms I meant with teratologic forms.
But in your case I'm not quite sure if it really is a Deciever. Judging from the colour especially of the gills, which on my screen are a bit too brownish and judging also from the habit (wood chips or something like that) it could possibly be a teratologic form of Tubaria hiemalis/furfuracea. I have found that in this species too.

best regards,
Andreas
