Pluteus & K. Mutabilis Confirmations

Is this first one wrinkled pluteus?

It was growing in a clump in a garden flowerbed with one of them small conifer species in it. This was the only fresh one I could find. It smelled very strongly and didn't secrete milk when gills broken.

Also is this K. mutabilis?

sorry Ive no idea about your first one but the second looks like K. mutabilis to me like you said, but a gill and stem shot would confirm

hi KT , good to see you are back

i would say your first one is A Lepista sp(probably L.nuda)

Your second one looks a lot like some Flammulina velutipes i found a few days ago, but without seing the gills and stipe, its just a guess

I agree with that

I was on the edge of suggesting another Lepista, possibly L. sordida, BUT I didn't want to venture into dangerous ground and/or resurrect the 'Lilac Mushroom' thread
