| | | Help with fungi ID I'm still finding identifying fungi extremely challenging but I've tried to apply what I have learnt from the helpful posters on this forum. So rather than just asking for ID I've had a go at tentative ids of at least the genus of some fungi I have found recently.
1. Are these Mycena? Found growing in my lawn. 
2. Are these Yellow Fieldcap (Bolbitius titubans)? Found at the edge of an arable field.
3. Are these Funnel Caps (Clitocybe)? Found on a grassy bridleway between hawthorn/sycamore/gorse scrub. 
4. Are these Sulphur Tuft ((Hypholoma fasciculare)? Found on a stump (probably Sycamore)
TIA

| | | Re: Help with fungi ID Hello,
1-Mycena sp.
2-I think that bolbitius titubans is ok
3- Clitocybe gibba, but the first left photo I see another type, perhaps a C. nebularis? Is not clear..sorry.
4- yes, with green-yellow gills!
ciao

| | | Re: Help with fungi ID Not too many Mycena grow in lawns and even less have coloured caps. Is there any smell to them especially when crushed and can you peel the cap? Without that info I would guess at M aetities

| | | Re: Help with fungi ID Mal,
Thanks Not too many Mycena grow in lawns and even less have coloured caps.
One of the reasons I asked was because the ones I have previously been shown have all been in woodland (growing on wood or leaf litter) so I thought I might have the wrong genus - hence no point in trying to determine species. It doesn't peel and it doesn't appear to have a significant odour.

The one on the right is less clear to me. Clitocybe gibba tends to have more of a matt texture to the cap cuticle and I'd be tempted to think this was a pale Lepista flaccida. Only the spores would give a definitive answer.
I agree with Mal on Mycena aetites.

Mal | Hello,
I would suggest M. olivaceomarginata.
best regards,

Seriously though, I concede that the gills are not very grey, which I would have expected for Mycena aetites. So you may well be right.

| | | Re: Help with fungi ID As the name suggest the gill edges should be darker than the rest of the gills. Although this can be sometimes pale enough to need a hand lens. Any chance you could use a lens to check the gill edges?
I would agree on the gill colour so M olivaceomarginata is quite possible.
