Ron,

First is Collybia confluens.

You're right with the genus for the second- I would suggest L. quietus but the cap is scurfy and I've not seen that before so do not know if it's significant.

The third image could be a Psathyrella, but underside shots are essential in these cases

The last could be a Hygrophorus, though it may be an immature Clitocybe- possibly C. gibba (C. geotropa is larger). I think someone else may be able to shed some light on this!

Thanks Nick, will remember the gill shots next time

So has 'Collybia as we know it' changed to Gymnopus? (I rarely use that one!)

[Chris Yeates]

remember this thread Nick?

if you bored- what's this

hence me being somewhat cheeky . . . no - Collybia as we knew it
has been split into four genera

The cheekiness bothers me not - nice to have something to smile about after all of this nomenclature tosh

I do half understand now, but I don't enjoy understanding it
