and this I think is Wrinkled Club Clavulina rugosa? Moss, deciduous woodland. There are a couple of clumps in this photo - one at the rear to the left and another at the front to the right of the main one in the centre and another to the right at the back. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Agreed on Honey fungus, Ann. Not sure as yet Paula, i'll check shortly. Were the caps very small Grayling, less than 2cm across? |

They were on the small side but I wouldn't say they were very small. I'll see if there is anything in my photos which might give an idea of size. |

Ann and Grayling.Agreed on Wrinkled Club and it might be one for the fungi challenge as well. The stems on Laccaria tortilis tend to be caespitose ( no stem visible above soil level) or very rarely no more than 1 to 1.5cm tall so if they were considerably taller than this they are likely to be another Laccaria type. I should be able to get enough info from the gills and stem Grayling if the above exclusions are taken into consideration. Your second photo Paula is of a decaying Pleurotus type (Oyster fungus) |

Thanks for the ID Dave and for the information about the other one - there were lots of those about, some close to the soil and others with stems but I assumed that they were all the same type. :hi: I'll check the species list .............. |

Paula. I'll check the other one as well which looks very interesting indeed.Looking at the third photo Grayling, this does look like Laccaria tortilis. If it were any other Laccaria type, the stem would be sufficiently visible enough above the substrate and grass level to the degree of being a minimum of 5cm (and up to 10cm) because the cap has bent all the way in on itself to show the gill striations and the cap on other Laccaria types only shows this formation when it is at it's highest point of growth before decay sets in. This is providing that the grass, clover and moss shown in photo 3 is not more than 5cm tall from the underneath soil substrate. |

Thanks Dave, and for the info too Is this Velvet Shank? ![]() and is this Dark Honey Fungus? Decaying wood, most likely to be beech. ![]() ![]() |

Agreed on Dark Honey Fungus, you can see the white around the ring on the stem. Was the first one growing on wood or soil? The Dark Honey Fungus and Laccaria tortillis can go on the fungi challenge. |

Thanks Dave for confirming those and I'll put those two on shortly. The first one that I thought was Velvet Shank could possibly have been on wood but there was nothing visible that I can remember so wouldn't want to swear to it but there was just that clump. I'll keep looking .................. |

Thanks Grayling. I'm actually very confused with the possible Velvet Shank. The individual at the bottom of the clump showing the broad, adnate gills look classic of Velvet Shank, the individual turned over at the top of the clump has far more crowded looking gills and won't be Velvet Shank. Looks like you have two fungi types for the price of one! |
