| | | Three unidentified fungi in grassland
Any help identifying these would be appreciated. Sorry for the lack of supporting detail, I hope they're common and easily identified.
1. Possibly a small Coprinus? 
2. Possibly a waxcap? 
3. A complete mystery to me! 
Thanks

No 1 is growing on woodchips, not unimproved grassland, so is most likely to be Parasola auricoma
No 2 As suggested.
No 3 Laccaria sp. (with several being present, surely it's not asking too much to place one on its side so we can see the gills and stem ?)

Neil. | I would agree with #2; the top one is clearly a Parasola though I would never base an ID on habitat alone - microscopy needed
the bottom one is not a Laccaria - judging by the marginal striations and what you can see of the gills I think the near one has at least 160 gills/subsidiary narrow gills; I can't think of a Laccaria that would have more than about 50 broad ones, often fewer . . .
can't say what it is, mind
Chris

Maybe Gymnopus dryophilus (Collybia dryophila) for the last one? Would need more characters really.
