| | | Help with fungi ID..
Please can you help me ID these..
I think they are the same family but found in the same field but far apart from each other.
Both found on grazing land with cows and sheep.
First one..   
The second one..   
Both together I brought them home to photograph. 
I think they are ink caps, egg shell toadstool (panaeolus semiovatus) as there was lots of dung around.
Can someone please confirm or put me right...
Thank you..  |

Hello,
it is a Brittlestem, a Psathyrella from the prona- or may be the gracilis-group. The pinkish colour on dehydrating is a character for both these groups.
best regards,
Andreas

The concept is a book primarly for beginners and therefor no microscopical features are given. Space was very limited anyway in the book, so this would have brought the text over the limit.
best regards,
Andreas
