Grassland fungi for identification/confirmation please

[Johnny81]

All taken 1/11/2011, Open grassland within a disused quarry, Northamptonshire. Sandy soils, lots of Peltigera sp. lichen near them.
1. Thinking Clitocybe dealbata. Spore print: White. Cap, 3.5cm

2. No idea. Spore print white, largest cap: approx 3cm. No real smell.

3. A Cortinarius species? Spore print: Brown, cap 3cm. This was taking within the quarry on sandy/rocky substrate. There was some water not far away, some developing willow close by, but not much else apart from willowherbs. Cap and stipe went brown with water applied and has stayed this colour over night, whilst taking a print.

4. Is this a Lichen/moss or just something gone over, racking my brains over it? Also within the quarry. Probably wrong section, but whilst I'm here... update: think it's Marchantia polymorpha

I'm not going to guess your first, but No 2 is more likely to be C.dealbata than No 1.

Hmm thanks Neil, Clitocybe rivulosa - might also be an option? But I'm just grabbing info out of a book and probably need microscope work.

Hi Johnny

C.rivulosa and C.dealbata are now considered to be the same species.

Cheers,
Nick

Cheers Nick - a species gets lumped rather than split or moved, makes a change

That’s a coincidence. I photographed a similar clump of C.dealbata today and had just finished checking it out when I read this thread.
