Fungi mixed for ID

[Looking]

Hi all a few for ID Please.
After a few of us had a little photographic meeting in a local wood.
I shall post the shots FOR ID before any of the others do.
Sorry its such a big list, but we did have a very good day.

A small bracket that I can not find in the book.


maybe Shaggy Scalycap - Philiota squarrosa


maybe rare Lactarius salmonicolor


Unknown


maybe plumbs and custard?


another bracket


and another


and another


maybe_Velvet_Shank_Flammulina_velutipes_var_veluti pes


maybe Common Earthball - Scleroderma citrinum


oak bol?

Hello,

no. 1 is Crepidotus mollis var. calolepis

no. 2 is a Armillaria, probably A. ostoyae

no. 3 is Lactarius chrysorrheus. You should have looked at the milk, it is white and very qickly turning bright yellow. L. salmonicolorhas ornage milk and grows with Abies only.

no. 4 is Hypholoma fasciculare

no. 5 yes, correct

no. 6-8 are all Daedaleopsis confragosa

no. 9 is no Velvet Shank, but the bitter tasting Gymnopilus penetrans (Common Rustgill)

no. 10 and 11 are corerect in my opinion.

best regards,
Andreas

Thanks mollisia.

No2 Darn it, I knew that.

I think No3 did have orange milk. If I get the chance I will go back and look again.

No4 I see Hypholoma fasciculare all the time here. These are not the same. These are much smaller. The biggest cap in the pic is maybe 3cm across. The colour is a brighter yellow.

Regards Dave

Thanks from me too - that's knocked off at least half of my un-identifieds!

Hope you don't mind me piggy-backing on this thread but these are the ones from the same foray that I'm still struggling with...

1. At the time I thought it might be Collybia butyracea but the stipe is all wrong:


2. Presumably an inkcap of some sort:


3. Possibly Mycena gallericulata:


4. I'd go for brown mottlegill - Panaeolina foenisecii:


5. I thought this was another Mycena but as far as I can see none of them have rings:


All the above were found under some birch trees at the edge of the car park before we started the foray proper.

6. One of the boletes, I'm guessing:


7. Absolutely no idea!:


8. Nor for this one which was growing under pines:


9. Velvet bolete - Suillus variegatus - was looking promising for this until I read "Status: Occasional in N and W". Brede High Woods being very much S and E would seem to rule it out:


10. Another no idea, growing on an old stump:


11. And finally, a jelly of some sort:

Hallo Dave,

for no. 3 you might be right, but I would bet a lot on it that it is not one of those with orange milk. I have never come across one which is so regularily orange, without any green (except salmonicolor, but this is it not).

for no. 4, there is a Hypholoma fasciculare var. subviridis, which is small and bright greenish-yellow. That would suite nicely.
But you may be right, becuase looking at the gills colour they seem to become brownish and not purple-blackish. So this should rather be a Pholiota, something around Pholiota alnicola and related species. There are some, you need the smell and a microscope. Only recently described in this group is e.g. Pholiota pini, growing on pine truncs.

best regards,
Andreas

Hello Dave,

you brought home a lot of work, as I can see. May be its better to bring fewer and have the time to study them more exhaustively. If you would have given them the opportunity to sporulate, you would have seen that several of your tentative determinations are far away, because the spore print colour tells other.

No. 1 e.g. can never be Collybia asema, because the spore print would then have to be whitish or creme, but in your specimen it is rusty brown. So you have a Cortinarius there, from the much beloved subgenus Telamonia. I suspect it is something like C. casimiri (= C. subsertipes), but that might be or not.

no. 2 is a Brittlestem, although it looks as if it's going to ink. No idea what species, possibly one from the gracilis-group

no. 3 surely also has dark brown gills and will release dark violet-brown spore print -> Brittlestem 2

no. 4 is no Panaeolina but still another Brittlestem. Quite interesting one!

no. 5 can be no Mycena, because it has rusty brown spore print. If you would look with a microscope at the cuticule structure, you would find it to be hymeniderm, so you are in the Bolbitiaceae, and here in the genus Pholiotina. They are mostly good to identify microscopically, but no chance without.

no. 6 You're sure? To me it looks more like a Cortinarius .... If it l´really has pores, only thing I could imagine is Boletinus cavipes.

no. 7 white spores + gills with a depression around the stipe but not free + fleshy fruitbodies = Tricholoma. Yours is Tricholoma ustale.

no. 8 This time it IS a Mycena, but I don't know which one.

no. 9 is Suillus variegatus, here you are right.

no. 10 is your fourth Brittlestem: Psathyrella piluliformis

and the last one is far from being jelly, it instead quite hard and corky. This is Chondrostereum purpureum.

best regards,
Andreas

Many, many thanks Andreas!

You're right - I should concentrate on fewer species in more depth. I'm like a kid in a sweet shop! I have also, once again, failed to get the necessary angles to help with IDs after the event. E.g. for no 6 I don't have a photo to show whether it has pores or gills under there which is not very helpful!

I got one right though, even if I did talk myself out of it!

Thanks again!

Thanks mollisia.

Think I will put No4 down as "Maybe Pholiota"

Hi mollisia,
It took me a while, but I did manage to get back to the milkcap.
