Ok Geoff. I can't id it for sure but i can ask Nick for his opinion.
It is always useful to know if I'm getting any better at identification, Dave, or if I still have so much more to learn.

I'll let you know when Nick replies Geoff, although i'm guessing it will be after Christmas now.

It will need microscopic examination to be sure, Katey.

Anthea and I were walking with friends in Essex in November 20012. I have just unearthed two photos of fungi growing by the wayside. I am sure they must be fairy common but I don't know what they are.

Hi Eric.

Would need to see the stems and possibly gills to be sure but they are likely to be a Macrolepiota type with M. procera or M. rhacodes being two likely candidates.

Post 2412, the encrusting type Geoff cannot be done from the photo alone according to Nick.

Thanks for that, Dave, I will mark it as unidentified.

Most encrusting types seem to be tricky don't they.

A couple of fungi seen on a walk on 9th December in south Norfolk. As can be seen at the bottom of the first photo, they were growing under Beech trees.

I'm not sure there's enough details from the photos for i.d.s

Hi Brian.

They all look like very washed out Laccaria laccata (The Deceiver). Stems and gills fit fine.

These are the encrusting types from Saturday.

Possibly the early non fruiting stage of Stereum hirsutum?

Last autumn I failed to achieve a certain identification for this green fungus. Later in the year the lumps erupt into small individual crater like areas.

I would say you were possibly right with the first one Geoff but i'll look more closely at them both later on.

I suspect the green one will remain unidentified but it would certainly be interesting to have another opinion; even if it is just a few rough suggestions.

Not sure about this one.

Is it an encrusting form with a curled over top edge or a deep thin bracket? Tried a few times for an ID but can't quite get a match whichever way I go with the keys.

Very interesting one Geoff, i'll take a closer look. Do you know what type of tree it was growing on Geoff?
