Scottish fungi for ID please

[pressld2]

Evenin' all!

These were all found on the banks of Loch Ruthven under a mix of birch and pine. I'm fairly confident with two of them...


Tawny Funnel - Lepista flaccida


Tawny Grisette - Amanita fulva

...but please correct me if you think I'm mistaken.

The other two I'm lost with...

1.
Height about 10cm and cap about 6cm.

2.
Height and cap both around 5cm.

Apologies for not getting a shot of the gills on that last one. I was slightly distracted by being eaten alive by midges!

Hi Dave

Is that milk I can see on the gills of your Tawney Funnel?

Hi Dave,

I don't think that the first is Lepista flaccida, as the gills aren't decurrent in the way that those of L.flaccida are.

I can't suggest a species, but you may have a Clitocybe, or indeed as Wayne suggests, a Lactarius - although to me it looks as though there are dried slug trails on the gills of both fruitbodies, rather than milk.

Agree with A.fulva for No.2

No 3 - I think is also a grisette (did you see a volva at the stem base?) - The stipe looks to have orange hues so I'm tempted to go for Amanita crocea - but the cap colour doesn't look typical.

No.4 - Haven't a clue.

Regards,
Mike.

I don't think it is Wayne. I think it's either slug slime as Mike suggested or possibly spider silk. Here's a couple of hard crops...



I did consider a couple of Lactarius species, L. salmonicolor and L. spinosulus, and my main reason for discounting them was that they are described in my books as "rare". Which is a bit silly really as even rare fungi still exist and I'm bound to find some occasionally. The other obvious candidate, given that they were under birch trees, is L. tabidus but mine look a bit too pink to be that species.

I didn't notice a volva but they were growing in deep moss so there could have been one. The closest I got to a match before posting was Amanita vaginata but again the cap colour doesn't look right.

Many thanks for your help and suggestions, gents.

Isn't the third one another Amanita fulva?

They are Lactarius and I think, almost certainly, L. tabidus.

Blimey - I'd never have thought that!

Many thanks both! I'll go and rename the milkcap image immediately.
