A couple more fungi in lawn for ID if poss

[Dillybythesea]

I've been trying to avoid repeating any of yesterday's, although the way they change over time makes it quite challenging for the newcomer doesn't it.

This is in a lot of places - tiny yellow fingers up to 3mm across by 10mm tall:


Then these very pale fleshy ones, which seem to end up turning the cap inside out (as shown) (with small slug):

And these, with a cap I think you'd say is parasol, darkening and flattening when older:
Meanwhile I'm trying to collect spores onto glass (google explained?!) from a couple of yesterday's and will hope to study them with a magnifying glass tomorrow. Exciting times. Thanks for any help.

hi

top one is a Clavulinopsis - probably C. helvola, but you need to check the spores (with more than a magnifying glass I fear)

middle one is surely Hygrocybe virginea

bottom one, is, yes Lepiotoid - but I'm not taking it any further than that . . .

best

Thanks again Chris! More avenues to explore!

A pity about the magnifying glass. Should have guessed! Maybe I can blow-up a photo? I shall give it a go.

ATB!

Yeah, the fungi forum's a bit like that. Give 'em half a chance and they'll start banging on about oil immersion objectives stains, and god knows what!

Whatever you do, don't invite more than one to a dinner party, and if you have to, seat them at opposite ends of the table!

Really made me laugh Jim!

But am fast realising my naivity! Managed to come up with these for my Laccaria laccata/Laccaria proxima ...



...hmmm. And this for the Hygrocybe


...hmmmmmmmmm. But praps if I'd gone to Specsavers?

I doubt that is a spore print from the Hygrocybe - or I'm completely off the pace

just a thought; for the third one - try Cystoderma carcharias . . . .

Hi Chris! Well I thought I went and got a cap from the tiny yellow one from the first posting- ie
On the glass the spores doesn't look as dark as that makes them seem - just a pale grey.

I just went to take another picture, including the cap, but the cap's become revolting and has things crawling out of it (eeeks!) - so it has now gone back to the 'lawn'!

Re the third above, I'm pretty sure none of those have a ring, so proabably not? (I know it looks a bit like they do in the upended shot, but that's just the base showing.)
Thanks for all the help and interest - Rhona

I think your dark spore print may have come from these of yours, not the orange waxcap ...



Melanie

BTW That's a nice lawn you've got there ..

Hi Melanie! I think you said that just to make me have to get out that horrible creepy crawly shot and lighten the exposure. Ugh! But no, I promise it's not the inkcap...

And thanks about the lawn!
