10 Mushrooms To Identify Please.

[ron1863]

These were all found in late summer/autumn and I need help with ID.





















Thank you, all help is much appreciated.

Hi Ron,

1 Mycena inclinata or M.archangeliana
2 Gymnopilus junonius
3 ?? I might stick my neck out and say Inocybe?!?
4 old glistening inkcaps, Coprinus micaceus
5 ??
6 Russual caerulea
7 Mycena sp.
8 Mycena pelianthina?
9 ??
10 Gymnopilus?

By the cap colour, gill attachment/colour i would suggest
Tricholoma surphureum for No2.

Cheers J.P.

Well, I'd say;

1. Mycena arcangeliana
2. Cortinarius or Inocybe. That umbo looks distinctive and there's a slightly rusty tinge on the stem, perhaps from spore deposit.
3. Not sure
4. A Mycena
5. One of the odd Russula. Not enough info really, but may immature specimens of R. sororia or closely related species. Maybe they smelled quite fetid?
6. Russula sp.
7. Mycena sp.
8. Collybia confluens
9. Collybia maculata
10. Same goes as for two, though a habitat clue might help genus ID.

The were all found in Lennox Forest, which is mainly coniferous with the majority being Picea abies but there are also deciduous patches with Beech, Birch, Oak, Chestnut and others.
This lot were mainly found under or around Spruce.

If I might be allowed to add my novice opinion on a couple of these please.

I think that: -

1 looks like Mycena arcangeliana - Angel's Bonnet.
4 looks like Mycena inclinata - Clustered Bonnet.

Wouldn't want to make out-and-out guesses so I'll not comment on the others.

Regards
Mike.

What do you mean your novice opinion?! You know your stuff Mike- you've demonstrated that loads of times! I think you'll end up as a Mycena specialist though, I know you like those

What about Tricoloma fulvum for No 2?

Very kind comment Nick, and coming from someone of your undoubted expertise, all the more so.

But I am (and I know it) very much a novice. I am beginning to get the basics of recognising a few species, but that's about where I am at the minute.

But, with the assistance of everyone on this forum, and a general interest in the subject overall, I might eventually get a little better.

And - yes I do seem to like Mycena's - they have a habit of appearing more photogenic, although I'd be hard pressed to explain why.

Regards
Mike.

It crossed my mind when I was in 'list' mode But I dissuaded myself from suggesting it due to the gills being too crowded for any of the Tricholoma genus
