| |  lilac cortinarius?
Hi all, grateful for help with this - found next to fly agaric last week, but under a few larch, some larch boletes still clinging on, also a few birch about 15yds away, on acid moorland peaty soil.
Cortina is whiteish, gills and stipe lilac/purple, cap silky browning.
Appears to be to be C. anomalus or variicolor hopefully!
Any thoughts please?
Oh and is this dung roundhead stropharis semiglobata, on sheep meadow, so lots of old poo. 
Thanks a lot

Cheers

Hi Ken, I would suggest the first one is Lepista nuda, should smell nice, almost purfumed, quite common to find these now it's getting colder. |
