IDs needed please

[MushroomHunter]

I'm just a beginner and learning so I'd be thankful for IDs for these.

Species 1-5 found in Mixed Woods (Mainly Pine and Birch), Derbyshire, UK.
Species 6 found in Cow Meadows.

Species 1 (Is this Psathyrella Spadiceogrisea?):



Species 2 (When I first saw these I thought Fulva but after looking at the gills I think otherwise):



Species 3 and 4

Habitat:



Species 3 (My guess is: Mycena Galopus):



Species 4 (My guess is: Conocybe Pubescens):



Species 5 (I don't expect an ID on these but they still look good ):



Species 6 (My guess is: Conocybe Siliginea):



My guesses are based on what I see in my books but I'd rather have proper IDs so I can record what I have found...thanks.

hi

most (if not all) of these are Psathyrella species - even 'species 3' has the look of a sterile Psathyrella - it is certainly not Mycena galopus

Psathyrella is a very difficult genus, you really do need a microscope, and even then things are far from straightforward; I know experienced mycologists who avoid the genus completely, on the basis of 'life's too short'

I know Melanie battles with fungi like these, I'd be interested to see what she thinks - though I suspect she would say you need (a) a microscope and (b) rather sharper/less over-exposed images

sorry to be so negative . . . .

I agree all look to be Psathyrella of some sort, but No5 could be Sulphur Tuft or Brick Caps.

Must say I'm slightly concerned when you say "You don't expect an ID but they look good"

By look good I just meant interesting aesthetically.
