ey up all! went for a walk today, found a few fungi, not too much about though. here's a couple which have me stumped.

1 - I thought this might be Collybia but i'm really not sure, growing in birch/alder plantation and surrounded by moss. around 6cm tall, no noticable smell

2 growing on large log, couldn't find anything anywhere about this

Not sure on the first, but the second is probably the slime mould Tubifera ferruginosa.

Regards,
Mike.

top one could well be a Hebeloma in the crustuliniforme area

spore print always useful . . . .

talking of spore prints i followed your advice and did one of that hebeloma growing in my oak plantpot, turned out sort of rusty brown, but didnt give too good a print. enough to show the colour though! as for this one i didn't have anything to bring samples back.might actually start doing it now though, it certainly helps!
