Bridleway fungi and a couple of mysteries

[watsthat]

Yesterdays foray down an East Yorkshire bridleway was very productive with; Parasols, Blewits, Horse Mushroom, Yellow Fieldcap and Mucilago crustacea. I was a bit stuck with these 3 though. I think the first is probably Clitocybe or maybe Lepista and I suspect the second is C. nebularis, the third one I feel maybe Stropharia, (esp as I had S. aeruginosa/caerulea a couple of weeks ago). There is the likelihood of horses using the track and evidence of dogs defacating there, otherwise it is grassy with overgrown hedgerow in parts. Sorry no spore prints but any pointers welcome

Cheers

Hi Pete,
An awkward Clitocybe for starters, so knowing Ken is probably looking over my shoulder I shall be very careful by saying did you take a sniff ?
This looks a little like C.fragrans, but they do seem to be on the large side.

Second shot is the Chicken Run fungus - I'm the chicken, and I'm running away from it as I don't have a clue ! I'll kick myself when told.

Your last, I had in mind Melanoleuca until I re-read your script and your mention of a possible Stropharia, so a big rethink on my part, um, um, well there is S.hornemannii, that has a central umbo, ain't British though as far as I know. Nope, sorry Pete, bring in the experts.

That second photo looks like it could be just yer everyday Clouded Agaric.

I can see what you mean. I don't have any other suggestions. The second I think has the look of Ampulloclitocybe clavipes.

Pass on the third. Not enough characters for me.

Thanks Neil & Ken, you`ve made me think a bit, (its remarkable how discussion opens up new avenues). I don`t expect to conclusively ID any of these but its fun trying.

Cheers
