Citocybe sp id confirmation

[kiltoncomp]

these three species were found late autumn o8 , i've narrowed the first two down to 1/ clitocybe clavipes ?? 2/ possibly Clitocybe gibba ??, 3/ not at all sure now if this is a clitocybe at all, did think it might be Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, but colour seems wrong ??
no1 was about 4" across cap , under birch and conifer trees
no2 was about 3" across cap, under conifer trees
no3 was about 2" across cap, in grassy area
spore prints from 1 & 2 where white, no spore print from 3

Lovely pics Well done you.Sure someone will come along and help

The first I would agree with the second probably right but the third not Hygrophoropsis but looks more like a Lactarius.

no.1 looks like clitocybe nebularis to me. The shape of the cap and edges clinches it for me. They do this as they mature.

I would agree with Ampulloclitocybe clavipes for the first.

I fully agree with Mal on Lactarius ... You can even see the exuding milk droplets

Hallo,

I would agree for the first as (Ampullo)Clitocybe clavipes.
The 2nd is also (Ampullo)Clitocybe clavipes, at least the 2nd picture of the 2nd row is this species for sure.
The 3rd is a Lactarius, you can easily see this in the 2nd picture at the fruitbody that is turned over. There are droplets of milk between the gills. It looks somewhat like Lactarius lilacinus, but in that age it usually is more lilac. Can you tell for this one something to the ecology? L. lilacinus would need damp place with Alnus.

best regards,
Andreas

thanks for all your suggestions,

all the specimens shown were found in the same area, no more than 15/20ft apart,
no1/ was under birch and conifers at one side of the footpath, and was a solitary specimen,

no2/ was on the other side of the footpath under conifers growing in a ring as can be seen in the pictures

while no3/ was in grass where the two footpaths joined, soil very dry sandy/stony in this area of Clumber(holywell wood area)

according to notes taken at the time, no 3 did not produce any milk droplets when cut , the cap was dry and not greasy/sticky and the white bloom rubbed off very easily,
