A few pics for ID and confirmation 2

[lipase]

1. Scleroderma citrinum

Growing in deciduous woodland, around twenty fruit bodies all spaced out by about 30cm from the next. I have photos of one when not fully developed but not on this computer.



2. My guess is Suillus luteus

Growing near a coniferous tree on a golf course. No other fruitbodies around.



3. Stropharia semiglobata

Growing on a cow pat in field on it's own.



4. My guess is Amanita muscaria basically just because someone told me they'd seen Amanita muscaria in the area and I thought perhaps they have variable cap colour as opposed to all of them being bright red or yellow.

I found a few other patches of Amanitas which looked similar to this. The colour was similar even with younger fruitbodies. The pictured fungi were growing in grass at the edge of a field but the others I found were under silver birch and smelled a bit fishy.



5. Amanita rubescens

Chris Yeates identified this one for me but I'd like to know how to differentiate this specific photo from Amanita excelsa var spissa since I can't see any noticable red/pink bruising on the parts that have been eaten. There only seems to be a thin section of maybe brown.

I think your first is a Bolete

Really Mal, really? looks like Scleroderma to me

I had just come back from a foray where I found quite a few chrysenteron/porosporus looking just like this but looking again I think you (and lipase) are probably right

I didn't know boletes could look like that, I thought you were joking at first! Shows how little I know of the wonderful world of fungi...! I guess the cap texture on this bolete I found yesterday resembles an earthballs skin at first glance:

No joke but a bit on the careless side
