Fungi ID needed please

Hello all,

Just a couple of piccies I took while out walking on Sunday. Would be good to know the names of what I photographed!

Thanks in advance

I think the first one was growing on an Ash stump.

I'll give it a try

1) velvet shank (because the cap looks quite shiny / viscid
2) trametes versicolour

I think the first will be Flammulina velutipes, and the second Trametes versicolor

Regards
Mike.

I agree with the above two id's but as usual a gill/stem shot would confirm with the Flammulina

Does this shot help at all? I didn't post it as it wasn't as clear as the first one, although a bit of the gill is showing on it.

The position of the fungi made it very difficult to photograph them. The long shoots from the Ash were poking me as it was!

yes I think it is Flammulina velutipes

I can see a velvety stem

Whilst I agree with your ID, I must say that a velvet-like stipe in a photograph like this (quite distant and not macro) is not a feature that you can reliably ID from. If it was closer and you could actually see the softness of it, then I'd say fair enough, but I don't think you can. I certainly can't
