Garden Fungi to Identify Please

[annief]

Am very new to all this and not a brilliant photographer but hopefully there is enough info here. Thanks for any help

These from the Veggie patch:-

Open ground next to the leeks



Again on open ground




In the grass

With free gills and (almost certainly) white spores this is a Lepiota.

I think this is a Melanoleuca.

These have the look of Collybia, maybe Collybia dryophila but they would need closer inspection.

These are misshapen Laccaria.

The first shows a Laccaria again. The second is a Mycena, maybe Mycena aetites.

Thank you Ken.
I checked the Lepiota in Philipps and rejected because of the very distinct upwardly curled edge. All show this even the very small ones, as if they grow like this rather than become like this with age.

I would have called the Lepiota L.castanea if I came across this on a public foray, but on my own, I would take it home for a microscope jobby.

Thanks Neil - unfortunately no microscope. I'm still at the "twitcher" stage -
OOooooooo that's interesting/pretty wonder what it is- see if you can find something like it in the book (Philipps) (or be lazy and ask the experts)

It does grow on open ground though (veggie patch), not in woods- the book says L castanea grows in woodland - or is that not significant?

Also as far as I can tell (in the rain) it has no smell and the internal stem flesh is pure white (the book = brown with strong smell).

I agree this one would need microscopy to be sure. By the stage the 'fruiting bodies' are at I would have expected more evidence of the cap breaking up into scales if it was Lepiota castanea. I think this could be something more unusual... but I can't really come up with any sensible suggestions.

Sorry I can't do the microscopy, but here are some more photos of some smaller ones, and they do smell of mushrooms.

If there is any other helpful info I can provide please let me know. The largest ones are about 1 in across all be it that the edges are now significantly curled up:

[annief]

Could it be L brunneo-incarnata?

-grows in disturbed ground; pale pink under the scales; white above the brown ring pink below;(larger specimins with almost no ring) brown velvety top- though would have said the smell was mushroomy rather than fruity. (courtesty of Philipps)

thanks

That's the species I had in mind but it's not at all common so I don't know enough to have any confidence in putting a name to your specimens.

Thanks again - I won't add it to the pot

caps of the small jobbies - now a bit dried up from being indoors
