Post 2609, Hazel.

There is no notch near the stem so i have ruled out Cortinarius purpurascens and it's not Cortinarius violaceus as the gills are too spaced out on this one. I'll keep trying.

I think it is a Lepista sp Hazel but won't be able to split it any further than that i'm afraid.

I should have said either Lepista nuda or lepista saeva, Hazel.

Hi Scoot.

I don't think i will be able to fully id them without photos of the gills and stems but the last one might be an Agaricus type.

I'm now not even sure that the first one is an Agaricus type without photos of the gills, Scoot.

You can encounter fungi pretty much all year round, in fact some types can be found very early in the year like Scarlet Elf Cup and Jew's Ear.

Most fungi do start appearing from August through to December with the peak being around Sept/Oct, but it does vary and does depend on seasonal conditions.
