Hi there,

I'm glad that you persevered and got your pics. into your post.

Couldn't resist logging back in to put you out of your misery.

Your fungi are Amethyst Deceivers - Laccaria amethystina.

They are locally quite common in Britain.

And - coincidentally, this was the fungus that started my interest in all things fungi.

Regards,
Mike.

Doh!! - beaten to it by Mal (I must learn to type more speedily

).

These beautiful fungi are called The Amethyst Deceiver (Laccaria amethystina) and can be very common under Oak, but despite that colour, can be quite difficult to see - but once you get your eye in ............

Eh ? There were no replies when I started to type this reply, now there are 5 !

Another quick edit coz I spelt it 'amethystia' originally.
