Hi, New to fungus forays and new to this forum and I'd be very grateful if you could identify the following to get me started. Also, I'd be interested to know your recommendation for the best field guide. Cheers, Mally

Lovely pics Mally.

It helps with ID if you can get an underside shot of the gills and stipe, if you can. When there are plenty around like this, it's ok to take one to photograph the underside if you can't get your camera round it.

No 6 is probably common earthball...the rest I wouldn't like to guess at, I'm no expert.

not 100% but i'll give it a go to id a few from these photos
1 is Hypholoma fasciculare i think
2 i'll have a stab at Mycena inclinata though i've been wrong on this before!
3 could be Stereum hirsutum
4 might be a Hebeloma
5 Mycena not sure what spp though
6 Scleroderma not sure which though

thats my two cents
cheers
tom

edit - as for guides roger philips mushrooms is good, if a little large for the field. a smaller one, though not brilliant is the latest collins one by sterry and hughes

No 2 has all the hallmarks of Mycena galericulata growing in a large troop on wood with a distinct umbo.
No 5 also as a large group on wood but with a definite two tone yellow/brown stipe M inclinata.

If you click on No 2 for the largest view you can get a better view of the stipe colour. I'd say it also has the distinctive yellowish tones of Mycena inclinata, and the distinctive edge of the cap points in that direction too.

No. 4 is another Hypholoma, possibly Hypholoma fasciculare as well.

OK so you could be right with No2

Is that Spinellus fusiger on number 5?

Cheers, Nick.
