| | | Fungi found in grassland on chalk, ID Help please
OK, I missed 2 from my bumper haul.....
I am pretty sure this one is marasmius oredes  
This one had got me stumped, found on grass, on chalk, around 5cm in height, cap about 2cm, on it's own, spore print dark brown, gills slightly decurrent, light tan at first drying a darker brown, maybe cortinarius..... help!   
Thanks again, Stewart |

hi Stewart
agree with Marasmius oreades - the other one looks suspiciously like Stropharia coronilla - but with no distinctive ring zone ? 
it looks to have been carefully collected / handled (it's amazing how many characters can disappear with careless handling) - was there any sign of a ring?
I'll have to have a think
definitely not a Cortinarius though . . . .
cheers
Chris

No Chris no sign of a ring, I found this just outside my back gate on the grass path, so it hadn't even been knocking around inthe basket for an hour...... |

The gills have the look of a Hebeloma but the cap colour and texture don't ring any bells with me.
Did it have a distinctive smell, do you know?

Ken | Can't quite place it, savory mushroomy smell, alomst like chicken stock cubes. | | |
