| | | Fungi for ID please Apologies in advance for the photos as my camera is getting a bit past it's best.
Found in mossy soil near to pine trees.
I will make some very ill-informed guesses. Marasmius oreades The other mushrooms near by feathered edges and the caps are pinkish and almost translucent. Cap about 6cm, height 4cm. It is a bit frozen, but slightly fishy odour? Gills very wide and decending to stipe. Stipe tough. Entoloma? Dark brown cap and stem with grey brown gills that decend to stipe. No odour. Cap about 2.5cm, height about 3cm.
I assume this is more of the Hygrophorus hypothejus Mal identified for me yesterday?
Thanks as ever. |

| | | Re: Fungi for ID please Hiya,
I think the first might be Hygrocybe nivea.
The second I'm not too sure of but the gills look to dark for Entoloma. If the gill edge is white this might point to Panaeolus
I think the third is Cantharellus tubaeformis.
Cheers, Nick. |

I thought the white fungi might be the H niveus, but it said it is quite uncommon.
The second one has remained quite dark. I am drying them for spore prints (no microscope yet). I shall look at the Panaeolus ones though out of interest. It does have rather irregular gills as the book suggests. Cantharellus tubaeformis is listed, common name, as Trumpet Chanterelle, though the index lists it as Cantharellus tubaeformis, but the page then has Craterellus?
At the same spot, or nearby at least, there were 2 or 3 very small fungi (sub 0.5cm caps) which I need to look at next time. This place has now turned up something in the order of 20 different fungi species and it is only about 8 metres square. Pretty impressive. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
