heres a load to ID!!!

[thebeard]

hello all!
this is a some of fungi that i've found over the last couple of weeks, quite a lot, so get your thinking caps on! the photos don't show much apart from just the fungi themselves, so apologies for that.

1 - found in a graveyard not too far from a holly tree, no idea really on this one!


2 - these were growing in my friends garden, had a good look around, but couldnt find it, guess its hard to ID lbj's really, but i thought the nipple on top might be a deciding factor


3 - these were growing near birch and rhododendron near a lake, i've got a feeling they're young amanita, apart from the last one, which was in the group, but was obviouisly a lot older, i think its the same. had quite an aniseedy smell


4 - growing under a sweet chestnut tree in a predominantly birch woodland, thought it might be a milkcap of sorts, except there was no milk... hmm


5 - is this another little amanita? it was on its own and i thought it was Lycoperdon until i unearthed it


and finally

6 - Pretty indistinct, growing in moss near a dead birch


cheers folks!

by and large a manky bunch . . . .

2 - quite possibly an Entoloma; unfortunately quite a lot of them can be papillate . . .

3 - if all the same species, judging from the (over) mature specimen then an Agaricus; smell would limit it - it's a genus I know little (and care less about)

4 - bit more depth of field might help . . . . possibly . . . . .

5 - looks very like a blusher Amanita rubescens

6 - I would say is an Inocybe

over and out

I'd agree that no 2 is probably an Entoloma. And not manky at all, very neat looking ....

Do you mean "Neat & 'dapper' " Melanie ?

corr..... what an awful meaningless English name.

No. 1 looks like Hygrocybe pratensis. I didn't enlarge that one when I first looked, although it did look a bit familiar. Was it near the Entoloma?

Derrrr ... just read what you have written .... so forget the question ....

Is there a Dapper Cap?

[fairplay]

No, what I meant was the silly name 'dapperling' (as given to small Lepiota spp.) could apply to practically any fungus an individual person thought looked 'neat'

It's certainly a name I will never be using.

Ah, I have seen the name, now you mention it ... obviously it didn't register in my brain though ....
