Fungi IDs

[Kayleigh]

A few I found today in the woods manly on and around oak trees
Hope I can get some Ids but as I didn't want to disturb them I didn't get any gill shots..

















Any help appreciated..

Cheers Elaine.

Hi Kayleigh.

I haven't got a clue, I only look at the pretty ones.

Look at each carefully and try and answer as many questions as you can:

fungus colour

normal size (a small ruler is useful for walks...my compass and knife have them so I usually have one about my person)

cap type (Conical or nearly so, Funnel shaped, Convex to shield shaped, Distinctly scaly, Cup shaped, other)

stem type (Lateral, rudimentary or absent, Ring on stem, Volva on stem, Bulbous base of stem, Stem much longer than cap diameter, Simple stem)

flesh (knife comes in handy again)(Flesh exudes white or watery latex (milk) when cut, Flesh exudes coloured latex (milk) when cut, Flesh discolours when cut, bruised or damaged, Mushroom has distinct or odd smell (non mushroomy), Flesh granular or brittle, Flesh fibrous usually pliable (like grass), Mushroom slimy or sticky, Pore material cannot be seperated from flesh of the cap, Other)

spore colour (picking required)

habitat (Grows in woods, Grows on the ground, Found in fields, lawns or on roadsides, Grows underground, Grows on wood, Grows on plant material/manure, Grows on other fungi, Grows on dead insects)

And when you have answered some of that, you can always go to Rogers online. The easy key is very useful.

PS Do not eat them, LOL!

Hi Kayleigh,

I like Rogers Mushrooms | Mushroom Pictures & Mushroom Reference.

The key is very easy to use.

You can have a lot of fun with the guys,

I hadn't noticed John's ID post until now:

Far better written than mine.
