Two fungi for ID please

[Pete Collins]

I'm sure these are both very common, I found them early this afternoon as I was walking past Whipsnade Zoo in the Bedfordshire part of the Chiltern Hills.

Two shots of the same fungus

I assume this is the same as the one above



Thanks.

The two red ones are Russula Pete, a tough genus to ID without as much information as is possible.

The other is Agaricus augustus without a doubt

Thanks very much Nick.

When I saw the first two, I wondered if Fungi fans had 'LRJs' (Little Red Jobs) the same way as bird watchers have their 'LBJs' (Little Brown Jobs, which usually turn out to be Meadow Pipits!).
