Found under larch on sandy soil:

Smallest cap about 2cm across

Largest cap about 4cm across

Spotted these when photographing the above, on larch twig. Mycena?

Thanks, JohnB

Hi John
I can't add much but the third one is I think a Hemimycena.

Hello,

the first one is a Clitocybe of the phyllophila group.

the second is very interesting, I have no sure idea about the genus. Just from looking at the gills, it has the air of a Tricholomataceae. But Clitocybe is off because of the gills attachement. So may be a Lyophyllum? But the spores needn't to be whitish, may be it is an Entoloma. That is my favorit guess for the moment. But if it would turn out to be a Cortinarius, I wouldn't wonder too much either ..... At least the stipe looks very cortinarius-like.

Spore print colour would be very useful .....

best regards,
Andreas
