Very irregular shape found growing in woods on a fallen tree. Cap about 100mm across, and as can be seen the gills are pink in colour. |

| | | Re: Please help with fungus id The second photo looks like Pink Waxcap - Hygrocybe calyptriformis
about the right size too 60-120mm. But that's just a guess. |

| | | Re: Please help with fungus id It looks something like a Pink Waxcap, but can't be as this was growing on a log.
No idea, sorry.

| | | Re: Please help with fungus id I think it might be a weather damaged Mycena pura.

| | | Re: Please help with fungus id Initial thoughts were of a teratologic form of Mycena pura (a quick sniff to check for a raphanoid aroma may have done the trick   ) However, it's growing on wood so I doubt it's what I thought. Pink gills and growing on wood suggests Pluteus to me (esp. with a woody stipe) so that's all I'll say
Mal beat me to it M. pura looks a good bet then!
