| |  Fungus Expert Needed
Hi
I've been playing with my new camera (oops - I mean my dad's new camera  ) and as you can see I've been taking lots of pictures of lovely fungus / fungi (much to the 'amusement' of my partner). Problem is I haven't got a clue what any of them are (I am going to put lots of field guides on my Christmas list!!) In the meantime it would be great if someone could help me  Here they are:-   
Thanks, Jenny

Hi Jenny - I'm far from an expert (for that we need Fungi John) but a quick browse through the Gallery suggests that your top picture is a yellow stagshorn fungus - I didnt manage to id the other two yet though.

1st one, as it si growing on wood could be one of the Calocera species. Don't recognise the 2nd one. |

The 3rd one looks like it could be one of the Milk caps or a Clitocybe. |

or possibly a funnel cap (tropping may be) - Jenny have you looked through the fungi Gallery ? http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/pi...lery.php/cat/8

Looks like Fungijohn has gone AWOL. Mark you who can blame him with all that has gone on over this weekend. Well out of it I say.

Well thanks for the contributions so far - I'm new here but as I keep seeing Fungi John's name I can only take it that he is the fountain of all knowledge when it comes to fungus so I will wait for his return...

Hmm, that 3rd one poses quite a few questions to what genus it is actually in. I reckon it could possibly be a Paxillus - shame there's no piccies of what the gills look like.
