ID Scottish Fungi... I'm a beginner!

[londonshroom]

Hello all

Great site and community! I'm just getting into taking pics of mushys and fungi, along with eating the nice ones... there are some amazing places for edible fungi up here!

Here's a short list of fungi I'd like to ID:

hi and welcome to WAB

I'll throw my two-penn'th in and then others more knowledgeable on agarics will weigh in also

first one looks like a Panaeolus species, perhaps the most likely is P. acuminatus (= P. rickenii)- unfortunately you do often need recourse to a microscope to sort these fellows out

second one is, I would say, Stropharia semigobata, a very common species of dung dung/grass habitats

third is Hypholoma fasciculare (sulphur tuft)

fourth is one of the species in the honey fungus complex - Armillaria sp.

fifth could well be another taxon within the above species-complex

sixth is a Mycena species

seventh is - I think Gymnopus confluens (= Collybia confluens) - though I would expect the stem to look rather more downy

eighth looks like a Hypholoma again

that's the best I can do - I'm more a micro-fungi man . . . .

cheers

Chris
