| | | Help with ID x 2 (High Stand, Cumbria)  
Hello there. I'm an infrequent poster but I'm often lurking on this forum trying to learn from people more experience than myself! I wonder if there would be any help out there on these two, which I'm a little bit stuck on. The first one should hopefully be quite distinctive with the hairy stipe (really pronounced, if out of focus in this shot) and free gills, but I'm struggling to place it. I did try a spore print, but it was so faint that it's difficult to tell. Could have been white, which wasn't what I was expecting, but like I said, so faint that there was almost nothing there. It seemed to be growing mostly with the pine but these woods are quite mixed.
The second one seemed to be growing closest to beech, but you can see from the litter that pines were in close attendance too. I can't say much more about that one as I didn't really disturb them. Somehow made me think of Hygrocybe, although in this setting would be more like Hygrophorus.. but couldn't see any possibles? Hopefully I'm not just being deceived by a Laccaria here? Help always appreciated, David. |

| | | Re: Help with ID x 2 (High Stand, Cumbria) Well you're right in that the hairy stipe is characteristic in the first and I can quite confidently say that you've got a rather dehydrated Collybia peronata .
Your second is possibly a Mycena- I say that because of the prominent interveining exhibited quite perfectly.
There's a word used to describe the way your specimens have contorted and twisted, but I'm getting angry trying to think of it. WAB Glossary is so full of bugs
I remembered all by myself! Teratologic!  Your specimens are teratologic forms! |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
