Hi Jenny, I`m not that skilful but like to try to help. Someone else may back me up or dispute my IDs. Of course I could sit down for several hours and get closer but I don`t have the time or inclination. However; for what its worth here are my suggestions;

1. Lepista nuda
2. Paxillus involutus
3. Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca
4. Hypholoma fasciculare
5. Definitely not a gilled fungus
6. Lepista nuda (again)
7. Amanita, (could be a something nasty)
8. Parasol for sure but which one?
9. Very interesting, I feel I should know but can`t put my finger on it

Cheers

Pete

Hi Jenny,

I agree with all pete has said, however I think 3 is Lepista flaccida and 9 is a Tubaria.

Cheers, Nick.

Hello,

The Amanita is Amanita citrina.
The bolet is either Xerocomus badius or (even more likely) an old Xerocomus ferrugineus.

The last one, is a very strange one. I would like to find that myself. DOn't know about the genus. Tubaria is the best idea, but which Tubaria has such a scaly and abundant veil? The gill colour doesn't give to much room for other genera: Conocybe/Pholiotina and Galerina have never scaly veil on the cap. Pholiota has no pubescent stipe, but Tubaria neither has. May be it is a Flammulaster?

best regards,
Andreas

hi

with regard to the last one - any chance there was dung around? lokks very like Rob Sutton's Psathyrella hirta Psathyrella hirta - Wild About Britain Pics and there are other Psathyrellas with squamulose caps . . .

Tubaria conspersa can look rather like that. I've just checked my photos and whilst the stems on mine weren't quite as floccose as these, I then checked the Polish website and found this picture which shows them very floccose.

I was thinking on similar lines Chris. I would suggest a Psathyrella species too

Hello,

Psathyrella is the genus that comes immediately into mind - but the gill colour rules it out completely. Even if one assumes, that it might be a sterile fruitbodiy, the gill colour isn't right either. I would say that it is impossible, that it is a Psathyrella, though I wouldn't hesitate a second if the gill colour would be chocolate brown.

Tubaria conspersa is likewise impossible, due to the shape of gills, which should be broadly annexed and not bowing upwards. Also the shape of cap in T. conspersa is never that bell shaped or umbonate, but flat to somewhat convex.

best regards,
Andreas

Thank you Pete and Nick for your initial identifications and Andreas, John, Melanie and Chris for your thoughts on the last one.
I'm sorry I've no more details for that, but there are sometimes cattle in that field, though I've not seen much dung in the wooded areas where the fungi were.

Couple of queries on the other IDs:
3. Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca or Lepista flaccida?
8. "Parasol for sure but which one?"

Thanks again,
Jenny

Lepista flaccida - Hygrophoropsis has forked gills

see (for example) Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca (MushroomExpert.Com)
