More Scottish Fungi

Chanterelles from Wigtown area, Scotland

Porcelain Fungi - Girvan Vallay, Scotland on a beech trunk

I think Larch Bolete here, especially the yellow one, Galloway Forest, Scotland,

Finally, some in need of ID - again Galloway Forest, some kind of Amanita sp. possibly Tawny Grisette (A. Fulva)

and some small bracket

I wish I'd had more time, but family holiday etc etc.

Jon,

Regarding the next to the last, although the cap is atypical, both in depth of color and lack of veil remnant spots, given the ring and the shape and pink coloration of the base of the stipe, I think you've got amanita rubescens there rather than a. fulva (which definitely has no ring). The blusher is notoriously variable in appearance, and I think this atypical cap is well within the range of the possible.

Blusher jim.....Aye

HI Jon, Jim knows his blushers better than I. For other reasons i have to agree that no.4 is not A. fulva . Fulva has a volvic sack at the base which it grows from, some times the sack gets stuck to the top of the cap other times its washed off but it is almost always evident at the base. Also note the cap colour change, edge of the gills- shape and colour. and shape/texture of the stem.
