3 Fungi for Identification please.

The first, a Russula? with a green cap, growing in mixed woodland.



This tiny fungus was growing in moss under conifers, ring present halfway up stem



The last was growing in soil and moss in mixed woodland.

I fancy either Galerina or Conocybe for the second.

The last is one of the complex around A. rubescens, I remember Cybershot having something very similar to this (slender, pale but with blushing) in 2007.

second looks very like much like Conocybe section Pholiotina - that's it without a microscope I'm afraid

Andreas would say that he thinks Pholiotina should be a separate genus (and for what's it's worth I think he's right)

oh - and for the record Ron - that is not tiny

cheers

I'll jump in and get shot down on no. 1 with the comment that it could well be russula cyanoxantha, the charcoal burner. Color varies, but green is a definite possibility. The acid test: it's the only of the russulas (brittle gills) that does NOT have brittle gills.

Thanks Jim, I'm as green at fungi ID as that Russula.

As am I! 95% of the fungi shown in posts here are a mystery to me. If I dare to reply to the other 5%, odds are I'm totally wrong. But just occasionally I may actually know something useful.
