more walkies today and found these, think i got the easy ones ha ha but had a go at the rest, but i need a new camera methinks

L.perlatum ? this is about 20mm across

A.silvicola ? this is about 40mm across the cap

C.rhacodes or brunneum possibly ? about 40mm across the open one

and finally for now

I.geophylla var.lilacina possibly ? again they are about 35mm wide

there are a few more in the unidentified Gallery but this is enough for now
thanks in advance : )

This is a Stropharia, probably Stropharia psuedocyanea.

This is actually a Coprinus, possibly Coprinopsis atramentaria.

The first one looks more like L. echinatum. The photo is not quite clear.

True, the photos are not clear, but echinatum is a lot more obviously spiny.

Yes, I see what you mean, and the smaller ones are clearly perlatum. The brownish one still looks rather spiky to me, but I suppose they are all the same.
