| | | Two from September to ID please These were both photographed in mid-September on the Isle of Skye, in a conifer forest below the Old Man of Storr. It had stopped raining about 2-3 hours previously after chucking it down non-stop for nearly 2 days!
As I wasn't really too much into fungi then this is all I have - just the pictures. No notes, nothing about smell or anything.  I have a couple of ideas but would welcome any suggestions, even just as to family species. Thanks again. |

| | | Re: Two from September to ID please At first sight I'd say Lactarius rufus for the first photo. |

| | | Re: Two from September to ID please The first one looks familiar but the name escapes me at the moment, will have to come back to it.
The second one is of particular interest as it is a close match to one I posted in an earlier thread. Pity there is not a shot of the gills and stem, I suspect the gills were pallid clay but just guessing. The suggestions for my example were that it was a Hebeloma Sp. possibly H. crustuliniformis - Poisonpie. Will wait in anticipation to see if anyone can positively ID your example.

| | | Re: Two from September to ID please Jordan suggests Poison Pie grows in open mixed woodland - these were beside a fairly narrow path in dense conifers - only a few trees in from the path on either side it was almost pitch black!
The gills sort of show on a couple of the broken specimens and they look pale whitish-greyish-buffish (see, I'm about as good at colours as I am at smells.  )
Angelo: that was one of my thoughts for the first one. |

| | | Re: Two from September to ID please After a search in my books I found Lactarius badiosanguineus, which seems more like yours than L. rufus. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
