Hi Grayling.

I'd agree on all of those three. The last two can be added to the fungi challenge as well, looks like we might surpass last years total by the end of October, we only need another 19 to pass last years 230 species.

Just another couple - same wood; predominantly beech with oak, hazel, some birch

This was a little bright yellow one on a small branch on the ground, no other around like it. I don't think is is sulphur tuft and I'm not sure that the gills are right for Scaleycap? :hmm:

There were a few of these here and there poking through the leaf litter - mainly beech, and I wonder if they are Ivory Woodwax? These are two separate individuals by the way.

Many thanks Dave. :hi:

I've long realised that I have problems photographing pale coloured stuff; white, yellow, pale blue in general and with fungi the dingy woods don't help :hmm: Have been playing with the settings - all a bit hit and miss.

It can be really tricky Grayling, low light levels in dense wooded areas can play havoc when taking photos of fungi. I have used the flash function in the past but that is still hit and miss.

The first one is Pholiota flammans and can go on the fungi challenge. The other is indeed Ivory Woodwax Hygrophorus eberneus

Hi Jen.

Not too sure on your first one yet. If it was growing directly out of wood substrate rules out Pluteus because of the formation of the gills, decurrent in this case. I'll keep looking.

Your are right about the other being an oyster type and this one is Panellus stipticus (Bitter Oysterling) the early stages of this fungi are ivory-white but they tend to go browner with age, as in your specimens.

thank you very much Dave , i'll keep looking for the other but i'm pretty hopeless when they change so much .. the books don't show all the stages , i suppose they can't ? the space needed would be considerable . I did post one earlier , just before Grayling :thinking: i think it's over the page

Hi John.

1. Boletus edulis
2 and 3. Sulphur Tuft
4. Mycena inclinata
5. Lactarius quietus
6. Pholiota squarrosa
7. Possibly an aged Mycena rosea
8. Mycena inclinata

The first photo is of a fungi I saw at Tatton Park a couple of weeks ago but was looking through my fungi book and wondered if it is pink waxcap. The cap was quite pointed. It is not a brilliant specimen having been knocked over by the deer.

No. 1

The next few were taken last Friday at RSPB Conwy and I think that they are all varying waxcaps.

No. 2

No. 3

No. 4

The next couple are some I also saw at Conwy.

No. 5

No. 6 - This had a yellow top but like other people I find it hard to get the correct colour in the photo.

Hi Hazel.

1. Agreed on Pink Waxcap
2 & 4. Likely to be Hygrocybe ceracea (Butter Waxcap)
3. Hygrocybe coccinea (Scarlet Waxcap)
5. Might be very tricky to id without a spore print and possibly needing to look at spores through a microscope. It's a Bonnet type fungi but i'm not sure i can get much further than that.
6. Is probably either Bolbitius titubans or B.vitellinus
