More unidentified from the wilderness!

Hey guys. Im back after a couple of days. A little concerned about the lack of fungi in the area. I'm guessing it is still early, but wherever i seem to go, the mushrooms that are around, seem to be dead and wilting. I have seen a couple of nice ones but have seen no fly agarics or the brighter larger fungi yet this season..... Anyway, enough of me ranting!
Not quite sure what this mushroom is. I found it in healthy green grass near a row of conifers.

And this was a nice little bracket that i couldn't seem to find in my book

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks guys!

Nick

Hi Nick

There are a number of possibilities for the first one, a couple that spring to mind are Agaricus arvensis and A.campestris. Stem details and smell can help in ID one smells of aniseed, one has an equal stem the other slightly clavate.

The small bracket looks to be Trametes versicolor.

Agarics hey - enough to send you insane? The best way to sort them is have a list and just check each one against certain criteria and tick it off - still a nightmare though. The secong one - could be Daedaleopsis confragosa (blushing bracket). If you see it again just press on the pores undertneath and they should go a nice rosy colour.

Hope this helps matters.
