| | | Stanlow fungi
These two pictures were taken in light woodland within the Shell Stanlow Refinery site on 20th October 2010. Any help with the ids would be much appreciated. The light example appears to have rust coloured spores. Both possibly cortinarius?

Did they smell as there are lookalikes it could be either common veiled fibre-cap or flavella this has a smoother cap but I will wait for the experts as I am more than likely to totally wrong. |

Thank you Kayliegh. Very helpful. I find fungi fascinating to photograph (they don't move either) but ids are so tricky, even impossible for non-mycologists.

Dave, do you have no sense of smell? I went botanising round that refinery once and I found the sulphurous whiff overpowering 
The second fungus might be Weeping Widow |

The ex Burmah part of the refinery site, to the rear, is OK for wildlife, plants and smells. And yes, you are quite right, I do not have a great sense of smell unfortunately. If I had it may have helped me, as Kayleigh has rightly pointed out.
Thanks for your help with the id. By the way Stanlow is amazing for all things natural - birds, plants, fungi, mosses, lichens etc. I will post other pics from the site in future.
