What Fungi is on my newly purchased land??

[Joshud]

Hello, I'm new to Wild About Britain.

I recently bought a large piece of land in Hampshire off a couple who had kept horses and plan on putting following their footsteps.

Was around the field when I noticed quite a large grouping of Fungi. I'm no exert and have no idea what they are, so was hoping someone here could help?

I didnt have my camera on me so I picked them and bought them home. The fungi on the right have gone a fair bit darker since picking and the ones on the left look about the same.







any suggestions?


Thanks

hi and welcome to WAB

if we're being strictly accurate it's "what fungi are . . . ." because we are dealing with at least two species here

the smaller of the left hand ones is almost certainly Stropharia semiglobata and the one next to it could be a larger fruitbody of that species; the other two look like Panaeolus species (one or - probably - two species here; accurate ID's usual require microscopy)

these are fungi typical of dung-y pastureland

cheers

Chris

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your speedy response and grammatical correct, i apologise in the unlikely event that I have caused offence.

Good to know, I couldn't work out what they were!

Until I came to WAB I had no idea just how diverse this all is! (stupid city dweller!)

of course not!

I agree. I would think the two on the right are Panaeolina foenisecii and Panaeolus papilionaceus.
