I'm giving myself a headache trying to sort all my photos out from the last couple of months, and I have a lot which I took yesterday. Some I think I might have ID'd, others I haven't got a clue. Any help would be appreciated. All found in mixed oak, beech and sycamore woodland.

First, Ithink this is Mycena Rosea

There were lots of these around, I think Common Funnel, Clitocybe Gibba

A huge ring of these, Possibly Clouded Funnel Clitocybe nebularis?

Finally, these got me stumped. Both different, but looking the same from above.

These were in a large group

But this was a solitary specimen

Hi Teresa.

Sorry can't help with your id problems but just wondered which woods you go to, to see all your fungi. Is it near Norwich.

Cheers David

Hi David, Yes it's in Norwich. There are actually two patches of woodland close to one another, one in Dereham Road just off Sweet Briar Road, and one leading from Waterworks Road down to the River Wensum, so there are a range of habitat for various fungi. That site, belonging to the Water Board I think, is a SSSI.

All of the above were from the Dereham Road woods. I suspect in years gone by the woods stretched right down to the river in one part, not the two that are there now.

Cheers Teresa.

I tried looking for fungi in Blickling Woods but there was very little variety. Next autumn i'll have a look down in those woods.

The Dereham Road Woods were a bit slow this year. It was so dry, and because it's on a hill (yes a hill!!!), it's very well drained, so it's only with all the rain lately they have started to show. But down by the river there has been a very good show.

Hmmm, nobody gonna have a stab at these ? Here goes then, for what it's worth,
No 1. I still can't honestly tell the difference between pura and rosea, as even amongst the experts on a recent BMS foray, there was no consistancy with members.
No 2. I'll go along with C.gibba.
No 3. C.nebularis.
No 4. Another Clitocybe, could be phyllophila, or even metachroa - but then there should be an indented centre which I cannot see in your photo.
No 5. Mmmm, I can see her pink knickers ! Well ...... it's an Agaricus, and as Chris and Anrdreas do not seem to be here to tell me off, I'm going to be a bit adventurous and suggest this could be A.dulcidulus or even A.bresadolanus on the grounds that I don't think we have had this before and there has to be a first time - that's as good an excuse as any.

Whose that laughing in the background ? Uh oh, it's Ken, he's going to tell me off.

Neil.

Thank you Fairplay. At least I'm on the right track with the ones I could name.

As for number 4, there was a nice big group of them, some in pairs or threes, in a small area about the size of a small living room. (ish). they were all rounded, no dips to indicate cliticybe sp. I'll have another look tomorrow and see how they've matured, if the drop in temp tonight doesn't kill them all off.
