| | | fungus for id please I Found 3 or 4 of these about a metre apart in mixed broadleaved woodland.
I have no idea of what goroup these belong too as they are new to me.
The nearest i can find is lactarious but i am probably way off the mark.the largest and oldest specimen was probably 60mm cap(upturned in photo).most were young ones as in the photo's.
Any ideas appreciated

| | | Re: fungus for id please Hi
The first thing to do is always make a spore print:
There are several genus it could belong to:
If the spores are white it may be a mycena
If the spores are suff brown possible an Inocybe
If pink perhaps an Entoloma
If the are rust brown it is most likely to be a Cortinarius
There is a rusty brown area at the bottom of the stem if these are spores then I would say most likely a Cortinarius

| | | Re: fungus for id please I too think that this has the right jizz for Lepista, though I'm prepared to go no further
