Fungi Found In Plumpton Wood and Seawell Wood

[Fazza]

I went for a walk around Plumpton Wood and Seawell Wood yesterday and tested the Macro function of my new camera so thought I'd share a couple of the photos with you:

Plumpton Wood:



Seawell Wood:



I was hoping someone would be able to tell me what the names of these are please?

hello there

I think they are all Rhodocollybia butyracea (butter-cap) one of the more common late-in-the-year toadstools

cheers

Chris

PS did you really need a "macro" function for these?

Nope! I just wanted to see how close I could get my camera to something to see what it can do!

I've only had this camera for a few weeks now so I'm trying out all the different settings/buttons.

Chris was being a little bit 'sarci' as he specialises in those things most (sane ?) people tend to ignore - the microfungi (but very important to science though)

Good Morning

Chris, I didn`t think the pics at the bottom were butter cap, the stems appear more Lepista like to me.

Cheers

I have to go with Chris on this one Pete - the top left and bottom left photos are both R.butyracea (at least, I think they are !) but the bottom left, being older specimens, are more weathered on the stalks, as shown in the bottom right photo.
