ID request - Nottinghamshire Fungi

[scorzonera]

Hello - looks like I'm the latest in a long list of similar requests. I'm in the process of adding captions to Fungi - but as I'm not much of a mycologist I'd appreciate any suggestions. I realise identification is not that easy in many cases (particularly as I photograph them in situ) and I think (not sure) that leaving comments on Flickr requires membership which is a pain. Maybe it's easier to leave messages here. Thanks.

Can't you cross reference them with images in our galleries?

[scorzonera]

Yes - I'm working my way through them, slowly. Some I've yet to find or am unsure of.

I am afraid there is no easy solution, browsing through the Gallery can be a bit hit and miss and time consuming. I would start with a good book, alternatively use the search facility on the Rogers Mushrooms site and then cross reference by doing an image search.

well i'm no expert but the first three are fly agaric - as a general hint it is good manners to put pics you want identified into our galleries (see links in the top right corner of this page for how) so that you are contributing to the site as well as benefiting from it

I don't know who's avatar is the most annoying.
Boddies' or Eeyores'

I tried to upload an animated but it didn't work.

hey up here we go -
00 046 - Blackening Waxcap
00 030 - 00 035 - Leccinums - various checks need to be made to confirm ID mainly colour change in flesh
00 025 + 00 026 - Lepista flaccida good be a good guess
00 020 Calvatia excipuliformis
00 018 Lepista nuda - but the cap is very shiny - a rainy day perhaps
0 042 Mucilago crustacea
00 064 Russula ochroleuca
00 067 maybe Thelophora terrestris (earth fan)
00 081 Boletus badius
impg0451 Laetiporous sulphureus (chicken of the Woods)
0 027 Paxillus involutus
0 001 Jews Ear Fungus


Thats about it and hopefully should point you in the right direction. The others - yeah I could have a guess but its difficult with no back-up info - anyway keep up the good shots?

you cant upload animated gifs anymore - mine , and I guess boddies, are links from a smiley site

[scorzonera]

Thanks for the various pointers and info. I'll submit pics to the Gallery when I've sorted through them, rather than just bunging everything on. I wouldn't think there's a need for many more shots of Fly Agaric, for instance.

Think your right, annoying thing is I can't find any this year in my area so it makes me envious seeing all those pictures.
