Fungi for ID/confirmation

[thebeard]

i took a different approach to ID than i usually do this time, as i was sick of getting rubbish in situ photos due to a lack of a mini tripod/good camera skills/good lens, so i proceed to setup a tripod at home and took some rubbish ex situ photos instead! well, not too bad.

i was hoping to get some spore prints, but only ended up doing a few and the only one which actually dropped any was an old shabby russula that i took back, but i haven't included that as it was as i say, old and shabby. This may well have been due to me taking prints the day after collecting them, i don't know.

anyway i've got a few (quite a lot) here which i'd love to get identified and confirmed so i'll leave it to you lot! cheers folks as always!

Number one, i think are wood blewit Lepista nuda, but wasn't sure, it was growing in leaf litter under rhododendrons, birch and beech. there were quite a few but all this small (~5cm tall), with lilac gills and lilac tinge to the stem, brown caps, they didnt really smell though and i heard they smell quite fragrant. tried to spore print but to no avail



Number two i think are Clitocybe gibba, there were also a LOT of these, drowing in the same sort of habitat as the Lepista, but with more birch. biggest was around 10cm across, but most were around 4-5cm. these didnt drop spores



now for some which i'm not sure on!

3 - Mycena species but not sure what, it was growing in longish grass, in groups



4 - Another Mycena but once again not sure, these were growing from a deciduous tree stump



5 - Not sure on this at all! Growing in long grass. seems a bit squished!



6 - Is this banded mottlegill Panaeolus cinctulus?



7 - another i have no idea about, thought the stalk might be a id'ing feature but im guessing microscopy will feature with this and a lot of others i've put up also grew in long grass near a Fagus

Your last one is actually nice and easy. It's Collybia butyracea.

i'll try agian with M aetites for No 3

I think you can just see the darker gill edge in the photo of No 5. If that is not a trick of the light we might have yet another M olivaceomarginata

Looks like a liberty cap to me...

ah cool cheers, i take it the caps are quite variable then, as i always thought it was meant to be quite dark whereas this is pretty light. everything else looks right though!
cheers flaxton too!

The Panaeolus doesn't look sturdy enough for P cinctulus, and the cap is rather too pointy. It could be P acuminatus . But I like to check the spores and cystidia to be sure.

i've found a few libs in my time, my friends enjoy them..., pretty sure this one isn't one though

What about it doesn't look like a liberty cap? The gills?

I've just looked up those Panaeolus species. I'm now even more convinced that the picture is of Psilocybe semilanceata.

[thebeard]

i've had a look through and yeah, those paneolus don't look like it at all, just did in phillips. i think the banded appearance on it is what threw me off, made me think it was something else.

i believe you are right geoff! apologies!

[NickCantle]

I believe the first is actually Clitocybe nebularis which does sometimes exhibit odd hues at various stages. This is more lilac than I'd expect to see to be honest, but I'm still relatively sure!

[thebeard]

its a shame none of the spores dropped when i did a print, not sure whether i'd have been able to tell from the colour though!

can anyone confirm the others?

[mollisia]

Hello,

the first one is indeed Woog Blewit (Lepista nuda) and not Lepista nebularis. Look at the gill attachment: adnate instead of descending!

The 2nd is either a strange Clitocbye or a strange Lepista flaccida.

3rd might well be Mycena aetites.

4th seems to be Mycena galericulata

5th looks to me like an dreis up Galerina. I don't think that it is a Mycena.

no. 6 is Liberty Cap without any doubt. IF it has that little peak on the cap, it is definitely easy to identify. But this little peak can be missing.

the last one is Rhodocollybia butyracea, yes.

bestr egards,
Andreas

[NickCantle]

Durr, always look at the gill attachment Nick

Thanks Andreas and great to see you again

lovely stuff cheers folks!! Saw loads of fungi today, might put some more up when i can be bothered!
