Fungi Type?

[pollys13]

I was in the woods again Tuesday, heavy rain when collected them. Had them out overnight, dried out some. Don't know my trees to well just yet have a Collins guide and a DVD. A1 was under I think were Birch trees, were also some Scots Pine with moss under, think I found the yellow one there.
Next time I go out will take my camera and take photo of leaf litter surrounding trees where the mushrooms are in situ. Tried to take better photos this time.
Cheers,
Peter.

Peter, We can't see your photos! Or at least I can't...

OK I'll try again.

Hi, you need to give us more info:
Help us to help you identify fungi
For what its worth, there looks to be wood blewit, lepista nuda, and a milkcap or lactarius sp in there.............

I can see Clitocybe geotropa, Rhodocollybia butyracea and possibly Lepista saeva and nuda.

I'm interested as to why the table is so wet and wonder if the poster is waterlogging the fungi before photographing them - I also wonder if the poster
would buy a fungal identification book with the fungi displayed in the state they are here ?

As suggested above, please see

I would also ask you to look at

Is my fungus edible or psychotic requests

Would it be too much to ask for that thread to be renamed to either 'psychoactive' or 'psychedelic'?

It makes me think of axe-wielding mushrooms with 'psychotic' there.

Hi Neil,
I was only able to get out to the wood on Tuesday, when there was heavy rain. As soon as I got home I put them on my stained glass project board, to try to dry them out a bit before taking photos, of them in the day light in the morning. I broke up the mushrooms after photos and scattered them in a small wood land that I go past quite often. Thought was nice thing to do, giving back to Mother Nature. Next time I go out will photo what I find in situ, leaf litter, trees around, as well as photos at home.
ttfn,
Peter.

Thanks for getting back to us Peter and explaining, and good on ya' mate for returning the fungi to 'mother nature'.

When you take photos in situ, try to aim for the type of shot you would expect to see in an ID book, that way there will be a good chance of us being able to ID them.

Another tip, if you are hopeless on tree ID try to include leaves or needles of the nearest tree/s in the shot to where the fungus was found.

Neil.
