I think I can see where everyone is coming from here and don't think there's any excuse for hassle really

It would help if more images of each fungus were posted as well; there will be a lot of guesswork involved and that will hardly help the difficult learning process involved with fungi (they're a lot harder - and far more numerous - than birds and flowering plants for example)

Anyway if you just want to be able to label your photo's here goes . . .

top one Leccinum almost certainly L. scabrum, but you do need to check flesh colour changes; also the nature and colour of the scales on the stem are important and they are out of focus

second I would suspect one of the potentially confusing pinky-brown Lactarius species; checking if it had milk and any colour changes thereof would have helped

third down - I'd like to see the gills

fourth down possibly dried out Laccaria - again a gill shot would have helped

best I can do based on the evidence - sorry, no real ID's possible . . .

If you read my replies to you carefully, you will see I am not trying to drive you anywhere, - I/we, simply want you to play ball.

Is that too difficult ?

I went down this route a couple of years ago, using WAB for the first time to help with fungi and Ive learned a lot here, besides joining proper Fungal groups and leading forays etc etc.
So I've been there - but the main issue Neil is trying to underline I think is that its so difficult to ID something with just one pic - more pics, sufficient data to help such as substrate, smell, nearby host trees, spore print or whatever can be crucial - and these are all outlined in the sticky if you dont want to be disappointed.
When youve been around for a while here, its a bit frustrating to see just a pic and 'what is it' time after time but we do need to nurture fungi enthusiasm and we all try to do that in our own sweet ways.
Help us to help you!
Cheers

Perhaps if you had read the important sticky before posting

Help us to help you identify fungi

you would understand better and not have replied in such a negative way.

On WAB we are very fortunate in having experienced, and indeed experts in this forum and they are only too willing to help others.

All we ask is that people requesting ID's give as much information as possible. Is that too much to ask!
