Hi everyone,
need some help with this please:
Manchesterben found it in pine forest, growing on the needles it appears.
It has us both beat!
Quite yellowish throughout, spore print creamy yellow too, cap drying browner, no ring, gills adnex/adnate, close and it seems to be grouped, trooping maybe. Not Honey.
Any steer/ suggestions please?
Possible buried cones, maybe Baeospora myosura?

Thanks a lot
Cheers
Ken

hi Ken

looks very like wood woolly-foot Gymnopus peronatus don't you think?

cheers

Yes it does!
Thanks a lot Chris - unusual with conifers threw me a bit, but I should have spotted the wooliness. Say what you see.................

Getting somewhat tired could explain it, over 100 pics to ID from the bioblitz at dovestone yesterday - all yorkshire records........(not all fungi before you get too interested)
Cheers
Ken
