4 More For ID Help Please

[Lancashire Lad]

All found today (mixed woodland): -

No.1
Growing from soil on a very steep open/sunny banking.
About 80mm tall and 30mm across the caps.


No.2
Solitary specimen, growing in soil. Cap diameter about 30mm, stipe height about 80mm. Small central umbo on cap.


No.3
In small troups, growing directly from soil.
Largest cap size about 30mm, stipe height (largest) about 40mm.
Could these be Inocybe curvipes?


No.4
Several specimens of these found, either singly, or occasionally in pairs.
Growing direct from soil/leaf litter.
Cap size about 60mm diameter, stipe height about 50mm.


Any help towards ID's much appreciated.

Regards,
Mike.

I'll get in quick with No3 Amanita fulva. If you had checked the base you would have seen the tell tale volva.

Number 2 looks a little like a Amanita fulva but i can't see any sack at the base of the stipe so i'm not too shore.

No.2 (but who's counting ) - I'm annoyed that I didn't ID that myself, as it was in an area where I found a much larger one a couple of weeks ago. (although I did see the volva on that one). The stipe on this one just broke away and I didn't think to check what was left in the soil.

Mike.

1 I think could be an aberrant Laccaria

3 is an Inocybe but that's as far as I'm going . . .

4 probably Russula ochroleuca - oh, I forgot, I don't do Russulas

whoops! wrong planet!

Thanks Chris.

I haven't been "into" fungi, long enough yet to be saying "I don't do such-and-such".
Anything that looks unfamiliar to me is fair game for a photo and a hopeful ID.

I can always put it in the "I wish I never saw that one in the first place" folder if it can't be identified.
(And that folder is growing daily - I should probably link it directly to the recycle bin ).

Regards,
Mike.

I don't think Russulas are that bad. They nearly all have nice brittle gills, which is good for identification, they're mostly edible, and they're a decent size.

What more could you want?

Better than little brown things at any rate.

Mycologically speaking though, completely irrelevant

I think you're missing the irony Nick . . . .
