Lawn Fungus ID Help Please

[WestLothian]

I am having difficulty identifying this one.

I think possibly:
Rufous Milkcap - Lactarius rufus
or
Lactarius hepaticus
or
Common Rustgill - Gymnopilius penetrans

But the gill shapes look different.

Hi
You can help yourself quite a bit:
Lacrarius have white, cream or pale ochre spores and bleed milk when the gills are damaged. and Gymnopilus has brown spores and does not bleed milk from the gills.

Put a cap on some paper and cover to prevent drying out and leave over night to see what colour the spores are.

Thank you Peter.

I have prepared one cap over paper as you suggest.

There is no bleeding milky or otherwise and I have sectioned one cap to show the sinuate shape and the strong colour of the gills (see below).

Hello,

I bet the spore print will be rusty brown
I think it is a Cortinarius, subgenus Dermocybe. Most probably one of the orange gilled ones, e.g. C. cinnamomeus (but a bit dark for that one).

bestr egards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

I was looking at Cortinarius orellanus and Cortinarius semisanguineus

The macro seems to show brown spores but I'll get the print.

Thanks.

Rusty Brown it is!

I think that it is most likely Cortinarius malicorius



Thanks for the help.
