| | | Corprinus auricomus?
Bearing in mind I'm going on macro features I'm inclined to believe this is C. auricomus (or Parasola auricoma if that's the current name  ) but part of me is wondering if it's actually C. Impatiens (or Corprinellus impatiens if that's the current name  ) but I've read that that is more frequent down south and this was up in Gateshead.
Found growing under beech and larch. Feel free to correct me

It looks like the photos I have for this species.

David
I think you are more likely to be right with your second choice C impatiens. If you have a hand lens you could see the hairs on the central part of C auricomus.

My oxford lens arrived in the post yesterday so in future forays I will have it to hand.
But without a lens (or microscope ) is there any definitive way of separating the two?

Not to worry, at least I'm starting to get the hang of this and narrowing down my finds is enough of an achievement I feel at this stage of my knowledge
