Right or wrong

[Chris Yeates]

hi

Cortinarius? spore print! you have to be more sytematic . . . . . looking at pictures should be a last resort, really

top looks like a Tricholoma, I would suggest Tricholoma ustale

bottom one looks like a Collybia (in the broad sense) - why did you think it was a Pleurotus? or is it growing on some wood we can't see here?

Mine was just a suggestion that surely if you want to increase your skills it would be better to have a stab at it yourself, rather than just ask folk to suggest for you.

With regards the dragon there would have been a number of species you could disregard straight away, due to the time of year, and you could maybe have learnt then too given the Gallery upload dates.

Its not relevant to every species but I'd still suggest it be the best way to learn.

With due respect Boddie at 68 im afraid i think its too late to learn thats why i ask but if its a problem im sorry i wont ask again

Why are you being so defensive?

When did I say it was a problem?

I said it was a suggestion.

I just thought it may be a bit more fun.

On your website, your Pluteus salicinus is actually Volvariella gloiocephala.
