| | | Fungi for ID please
Could someone help ID this please, I know absolutely nothing about fungi but am willing to learn with a little help (well actually a lot of help) from the experts on here. 
Many thanks. |

Many thanks. | Hi Wayne and welcome to the wonderful world of Fungi 
These are Crepidotus and probably C.mollis but would require microscopy to be 100% sure

Crepidotus mollis is the only Crepidotus species that one can confidently identify in the field by it's peelable elastic membrane on the cap surface which should be smooth but being hairy at point of attachment.
I feel this cap surface is too 'scaley' or flakey and for this reason, I am going to disagree with John, especially in the absence of knowing if the cap can be peeled or not.
Neil.

Worth pointing out that Crepidotus mollis var calolepis is quite rare too
Was it on Ash?

I knew this had been on WAB before - just couldn't remember the name.
Cheers Ken and sorry John.  I must amend my 'computer side' companion, i.e. Collins guide.
