Lots of mushrooms

[thelawnet]

The BBQ summer is turning out good for fungi. We went on a trip to Chobham Common today to hunt for mushrooms, except there were so many along the way we never made it there.

First couple here:
Clusters on a mossy stump:


Russula, I thought Emetica, but then we saw much redder ones later:


Will post more in due course.

hi

Coprinellus disseminatus for the top one . . .

I don't do Russula - there has to be at least one group of fungi I don't get interested in

cheers

more as promised:

Amanita?



Russula



Also Russula


Missing its stem, sorry



Little purple mushroom



Slime mold? Removed from a tree


Large bolete



All from oak/beech woodland, the bolete from grass under a lone oak tree

I haven't been into fungi recently so forgive me if some of these are wrong.

Your little purple one is Amethyst Deceiver - Laccaria amethystina

Your slime mould might be the fresh growths of a Postia or even Bjerkandera(I'm not 100%)

The one missing its stem might be Amanita rubuescens and so is the first one

Last one.

THis has an interesting 'essential oil' type smell:

Your amanita looks like the "Blusher" though it is not so clear to tell for certain due to the photo quality... it is possible it is something else.

Thanks. I didn't match it to the picture I had, mine aren't very umbrella shaped. They do have grooved rings and pinkish bruising, which I didn't check first of all...

Are there any other Amanita species with grooves on the upper side of the ring?

[KeenTeen17]

I think Amanita excelsa does although I'm not 100%. I think the proffessionals are in bed at the moment
