Hygrophoropsis sp ??

[kiltoncomp]

i found these about 3 years ago and have been trying to put a name to them since, original id was Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, but as can be seen from the slug/rodent damage on the caps, the flesh on these is white, whereas phillips has the fleh as "yellowish orange" and jordan as "concolorous with the cap"

any suggestions? please

(apologies for poor picture quality, but they were taken on phone camera when i was first getting the fungi bug)

Hallo Brian,

I would think that you are right with Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca. The fruitbodies are a little dried, as one can see on the upside down fruitbody. They don't look very typical, indeed, but I have no other idea. H. pallida has other colours, as far as I know this one, and another genus then Hygrophoropsis wouldn't please me either.

best regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas, i have since found Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca in the same area as these in the last two seasons, all of which conformed to the usual description, these ones seemed to fit the descriptions in all aspects apart from the flesh colour, and they look right as well.

Well come on, let's be honest! Many people have interests in things and many people aren't lucky enough to own good books- you've got that benefit and you're not using it to your advantage! You seem to take it for granted and ask here instead, whereas you should really look it up in your book, learn it and then use your new found knowledge to enlighten us! I will never ever tire of your enthusiasm lads, it's a joy to see, but you need to use literature as much as you can otherwise it's a waste of time. I appreciate that you learn lots here, and perhaps questions to members here about things that are more complex than your books describe or things that are not included in your books, but lots of questions asked would be answered in a sentence in your books.

Apologies for the off topic post Brian. I help back from giving my view on your specimen because I didn't have a clue what it is. I thought you were probably right with your diagnosis but then I saw the stipe length and reconsidered. However, as Andreas has confirmed, these are quite old and weathered specimens hence the old and weathered look!
