Found Today: -
No.1 - Originally thought this was Gymnopilus junonius, but since it was growing amongst spruce, am now assuming it's G.penetrans. 
No.2 - Fairly sure these are Ciboria batschiana.
Growing below Oak - (I think these are on old decayed acorns).  
No.3 - Another Cortinarius that will probably not be able to be identified without microscopy.       
No.4 - No idea on this one.
Growing below Larch, Birch, Oak.
Caps about 40mm across, stipes about 60-70mm tall. 
Any help with ID's / Confirmations much appreciated as usual.
Regards,
Mike. |

Hi Mike
With that ring, number 1 must be Gymnopilus junonius, as you first thought.
Ciboria batschiana is correct. You can often find the blackened mummified acorns without any sign of the 'fruiting bodies', which shows that this fungus has been at work.
The last one is a Mycena. Did it have a smell? It looks like it could be Mycena pura, which is a very variable species. |

Thanks ManwithNoname. Quote:

They weren't recognisable as acorns, but couldn't really be anything else as they were in a solely Oak area. Quote:

If it didn't have a distinctive smell it could just be Mycena galericulata. | | |
