Fungi for ID please

[pressld2]

Spent the morning in my local woods and found several nice fungi, but so far have not been able to identify any with certainty.

Number 1:



These were trooping under an oak tree but the woodland is mixed deciduous and there were birch and beech nearby. Caps up to about 15cm across which, if my books are right makes them too big for Clitocybe gibba or C. sinopica. I think I've ruled out Lepista flaccida too. Currently my best guess is brown rollrim - Paxillus involutus.

Number 2:



I think Mycena pura but after the confusion at Clumber with Mycena rosea I'd be grateful for a second opinion.

Number 3:



A tiny bonnet-like jobbie, the largest of these three is about 1cm high and the cap about 2.5 or 3mm wide. They're growing on decayed wood and I'm wondering if they could possibly be Delicatula integrella, mainly because of the translucent stipe. I suspect they're something more common though.

Number 4:



I've got nothing! I've tried using the key on the Roger's Mushrooms site but none of the species returned seems right.

All help gratefully received!

Hi Dave, as the experts seem to be out for the night, I`ll sneak in with a few comments. I think your deductions re no.1 are on the right lines. No way will I confidently split M. pura and M. rosea and I think the last one is Gymnopilus sp.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Dave

Paxillus involutus
Mycena pura var rosea
Possibly Mycena adscendens. Did you notice a white disc at the base of the stipe?
Gymnopilus penetrans

You mean I got two right? (I'm counting the Mycena )

Now that you mention it, here's a crop from a focus stacked image which shows the base of a couple of stipes...



They do have a very small white disc there.

Just looked that up and Collins says it grows on the decaying wood of conifers. These were growing on a dead silver birch. (I should have mentioned that in my first post - sorry! )
