A few pics for ID and confirmation

1. Rickenella fibula is my guess

Found growing on moss with grass on the line between coniferous and deciduous woodland. In reality their colour was less bright and a bit more orange than in the photo. There was a patch of about five or six.

2. Phallus impudicus

Found growing in coniferous woodland. The smell I got from these wasn't particularly nice although it was more sweet or aromatic than I expected it to be. I didn't stand downwind of it however. Fairly widely spaced group of four (about two or three meters between each fruitbody).

3. My guess is Crepidotus lundellii

Found growing on what is presumably a coniferous twig in a coniferous area. I found a thicker stick with about fifteen more growing. Unfortunately the other photos didn't come out very well.

4. Leccinum scabrum

The closest tree was a silver birch. When the stipe and flesh were cut there was no obvious change in the colour. Growing singularly.

5. My guess is Amanita fulva

Growing on grass in woodland area (unsure whether deciduous or coniferous at that point but if pressed for an answer I'd say deciduous). Could only find these two fruitbodies.

6. Another Leccinum scabrum

Growing under silver birch on a golf course. No change in colour when cut although pores I think turned brown on bruising. Growing a patch with other fruitbodies.

7. My guess Calocera pallidospathulata

Growing on long dead coniferous tree trunk.

8. My guess Mycena galopus

Found growing in coniferous woodland in patches of around five or six immediately visible fruitbodies, there may have been more.

9. Psuedotrametes gibbosa

I didn't take snaps of the pores close up nor close ups of the topsides of the fruitbodies but I could easily take some more if that's needed for identification.

I would agree with all except the Crepidotus. Crepidotus caspari (lundellii) has a smooth surface (yours looks tomentose) and grows on elder and ivy twigs not conifer.

5. amanita crocea rather than a. fulva, I believe.

I still think no 5 is too delicate for crocea so am sticking with fulva.

Yes, definitely not substantial enough to be A. crocea!

I willingly yield to superior knowledge!!

Actually, I misread Mal's post and didn't realize he had confirmed the a. fulva. Otherwise I would never have been foolish enough to stick my nose in! That'll teach me to read more closely!!

It is always best to read the posts properly as I have found to my cost

but never be afraid to put forward an opinion even the experts get it wrong on occasions.

Yeah, I'm still picking up everything I forgot when last season finished

Thanks for pointing that out! I've now learnt another new word (tomentose), hopefully it will stick in my brain.

Thanks everyone for sorting out the fulva business... Here's another!

Is this more likely to be A. crocea since it's a bit more bulky and the colour more yellow and bright?
