Hi All
While its raining and your stuck in front of your screens perhaps you could ponder over this one.
Have been coming across it in the last few weeks at a number of locations and to be quite honest have not got a clue as to where to start looking for ID.
Grows on ground with Beech and Oak.
Cap dia. 3cm
Stem ht.2cm dia.5mm
No distinctive odour or signs of bruising.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Looks like a Clitocybe maybe Common Funnel Cap Clytocybe infundibuliformis. |

Will have to do some more research tonight.

Carried out some more research and found that Clitocybe infundibuliformis has been renamed Clitocybe gibba. Description and photographs fit extremely well. Transpires it is fairly common which probably explains why I keep coming across it.
Spot on again Deer Stalker, Well done!

Was it a Bolete? If it was it could be Slippery Jack Suillus luteus or another species of Suillus. |

Looks like a Clitocybe to me a possible ID has already been mentioned(C. gibba / synonym- infundibuliformis) as for WW's fungi, possibly a gone-over Paxillus Involutus. Was it in a area with a few Birch trees WW?

mark | Yes-lots of birch. This was at the edge of the wood. Cap about 20cm, low to ground with this radiating pattern that I can't see in the book. Cheers Julie.
