No.3 - No idea on this one. | Hello Mike,
yes for the first one!
The 2nd don't seems to be stillatitius, which is more slender and has a brighter cap with obviouse olive colours and grows in acid conifer forests. Yours comes from decidouse trees, is stout and the cap is rather bay. So it seems something else, but I don't know which.
No. 3 is Cystoderma amianthinum.
best regards,
Andreas

| | | Re: 3 for Confirmation / ID help please Thanks very much Andreas.
Phillips mentions that C.stillatitius does also occur with deciduous trees, especially Fagus, but not having found any previously, I can't argue with what you say about colouration & stature etc.
The other thing that I initially thought it might be was Wrinkled Webcap - Cortinarius livido-ochraceus, but I've seen quite a few of those and they all seem to have an overall violaceous colouring to the top half of the stipe.
Confused again
Regards,
Mike. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
