These are few fungi photographs that my wife took recently while we were in Burgundy.
I suspect that they many also be common to the UK but we would love to know thier idenity please if anyone can help.

All were taken in a misxed woodland mainly beech,oak and conifer.

We have searched our fungi books without success althouigh for opthers we were successful.

Thank you for any assistance.[

I think the second is a Coprinus sp.

(i say that with not very much confidence. i'm probably wrong.)

Thansk Squishy for this suggestion which I will follow up.

Appreciate your time and trouble.

I also apologise for the presentation of these images but this is the first time I have attempted presenting multiple images.

Brian me old matee !!!

I've only just realised who you are.

If I'd had realised earlier, I would have told you this afternoon that we would need to see the gill layout too, to get a better chance of an ID.

You going to come to the Xmas quiz ?

BIG OOPS.

Sorry Brian,

I have just been told by our 'membership secretary' that you are NOT the Brian from our fungus group. I've always been hopeless on names.

Please do not worry, my excuse would be old age but I do not know what yours is!!

You sound like a good mate.

Can you or any of your members help with the initial request for identifiucation of the fungi that I uploaded please?

Regards,

Brian.
PS Coincidentally my brother's name is Neil!!!

The first and last photos look like Sulphur Tuft - Hypholoma fasciculare to me.

The 4th looks like it may be a Lactarius of some sort but without gill shots and further info positive ID isn't possible.

Hello again Brian,

Too much going on in my head is my excuse !

Anyway, back to the photos - the pale one at middle top, may be a type of Mottlegill (Panaeolus), but it could also be a lot of other things, the top right is quite unusual and I don't have any idea.
Bottom left could be a Mycena or even a Cortinarius.

You will note that I am having difficulty even with the Genus, this is because we really need to see the underneath as well which may then show the stem shape and any markings or a ring, and the gill shape and colour, which in turn would allow us to work out what colour the spores are likely to be.
A sideways view would also allow us a better perspective of the whole fungus.

Even after providing all that, you may still have an answer saying it will need to go under a microscope to be examined in more detail.

Sorry I can't be of much more help.

Neil.
