Hi folks

The first three in this series of 5 pictures from last weekend are pretty unmistakable but the last 2 I have no idea on, can anyone help please. I think the last one may not be a fungi, or possibly not just a fungi but it was quite unusual.

Many thanks as ever

Regards

Bill

False chanterelle, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca

Parasol mushroom, Macrolepiota procera

Porcelain fungus, Oudemansiella mucida

The next was quite rubbery, reminescent of the texture of yellow staghorn.

And I think this may be a fungi with moss attached ?

Your second from last appears to be a Collybia species, check the base of the stem carefully.

Last, may be a very early stage of Phaeolus schweinitzii.
