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.
