Fungi from Stowe for confirmation & ID please

[solus]

These were all photographed in the National Trust's landscape gardens at Stowe, Buckingamshire on Monday 30th August.

I think (hope!) I have managed to identify the first 3 but will be grateful for confirmation (or otherwise!):
Brown Rollrim - Paxillus involutus, growing in grass under lime trees beside a lake.


Fairy Ring Champignon - Marasmius oreades, in grass in the parkland.



A very old and tatty Dyer's Mazegill - Phaeolus schweinitzii?? This was growing - or possibly not, as it seemed to have been recently strimmed off - in an area of rough grass around where a tree had once stood but where only the root area and the odd trace of stump remained. The edges were velvety in texture.



The next ones I haven't a clue about so all ideas and suggestions more than welcomed!

IF the above is Phaeolus, then I am assuming the ex-tree was a conifer in which case this Boletus was growing within the same root area. There were a couple, with brown caps, large yellowy pores which bruised blue and reddish stipes: the small one seemed malformed in that the stipe was at one side rather than central.



These were growing in grass, under a Hawthorn and not far from a Beech, between a path and a lake. The first which had already been picked/kicked appeared to consist of several fused and overlapping fruit bodies; the last I picked "fresh" as it were, and the gills on this were whiter. The caps were whitish and from the decurrent gills I wondered about Clitocybe sp.? They did have a strong, somewhat unpleasant smell which I couldn't place although it did remind me of something (non fungi) I have smelled relatively recently, only I just can't place what or where! Possibly animal-related but not cow-dung... Himself refused point blank to have a sniff at any fungus, particularly one that might small nasty so no help from that quarter (half!) to jog my memory.




Sorry about the lengthy post and not too good photos but hopefully some ideas will be forthcoming. Thanks for your time and patience!

Hiya Solus,

I'd say good job there. You're correct with all, though I don't know about the Bolete (because these aren't my fave things ). The last one possibly had a mealy smell- and that would point to Clitopilus prunulus!

i'd definitely agree with the first two - the bolete's blue bruising points to b.luridoformis when coupled with the red stem network and the very yellow tubes - if it blues rapidly it is likely to be this, if more slowly then perhaps b.badius although the lack of a deep brown cap suggests it is more likely the former. folk on here will tell you that b.luridoformis is about the only thing i can id lol :-)

Thanks Nick. I hadn't thought about the Miller... but then again I'm not really sure what a "mealy" smell would be like (please don't say "like meal"!) but i do know the smell of these was both strong and unpleasant. Having had a look at various websites and photos, it seems a good possibility anyway.

Richickle: I discounted B. luridiformis because the pores were big and yellow rather than tiny and red as I've seen before. But I haven't a clue what it could be.

I've been thinking about that Boletus and have spent (wasted, frittered?) most of the afternoon away looking at books, the interweb and lots of old posts on here and I am now wondering if maybe it's an older B. rubellus? There does seem to be some reddish colour on the caps where bits of grass had been stuck on... or is that wishful thinking?

I am trying! (Very!!)

I'd think it'd still have some of that classic scarlet red on the cap but there's none in your image. To be fair, I'd let this one go- it's pretty far gone, and certainly too far gone to see all of the distinguishing features.
