I know that Calocera viscosa emerges on wood substrate but i'm not sure whether any of the other Clavulinopsis are similar or if they are predominantly soil/pasture substrate. |

Dave I think the 2nd is Shaggy Ink-cap as well. It is too elongated for Macrolepiota sp..and at that young unexpanded stage Macrolepiota would not be that "shaggy". |

That is Poison Pax (Roll-rim) Paxillus involutus Tabatha. This one is DANGEROUSLY POISONOUS and should not be touched without thoroughly washing hands immediately afterwards. |

Hmm, had to look this one up. My book says poisonous if eaten raw or inadequately cooked. Also I see no dent in the top, to me it looks more like P.atrotomentosus. Edited by GreenLarry, Nov 20 2011, 02:34 PM.

Judy and Larry. I didn't touch it. Quite honestly it doesn't look appetising in any way.

Hi, Larry, The first of Tabatha's photos is a mature specimen. The others show as immature that have not expanded enough to develop the the slight depression in the centre of the cap which both species have. P.atrotomentosus generally has the stem attached well off centre and is found mainly growing in woods on and around conifer stumps. However although I am sure this is P. involutus, in a case like this, where incomplete information is provided, as in a good shot of the stem and gills/pores/underside (use a mirror if necessary) One should err on the side of utmost caution. |

JudyThey can be a lot trickier than first appears but i do know some of them off the top of my head but i will need further info on others... 1. Agreed 2. Look like Hygrocybe chlorophana - Gills tend to be white to pallid lemon when young and the stem remains concolorous with cap. 3. Not too sure on this one...the white gills and reddish into yellow stem doesn't appear to fit with any i know. 4,5 and 11 are Hygrocybe virginea. 8. Stem appears too pallid to be young H.virginea but the gills look decurrent and broad so i'm not too sure. 12. The only one that comes to mind is Hygrophorus cossus. Did it have a very strong and rather unpleasant 'Goat' like smell? Not too sure on the others. |

thanks Dave, that helps a lot. I was getting totally bogged down. Got fungi ID overload and couldn't see for looking. I will see if I can get back to that last one tomorrow. And now got some sorted I can concentrate on the rest. |

Number 12 I had thought H. cossus but it is growing some 20m out into the field. There is Beech in the hedge so I suppose it is possible the roots run that far as it is very shallow soil there. The Hygrocybe virginea I wasn't sure of as there are conflicting names and I couldn't work it out. H. virginea, H. virginea var. virginea or Camarophyllus niveus. There is a lot of multiple naming and synonyms in the fungi world unfortunately. |

JudyI have seen H.cossus within approx the same parameters as you describe so i guess it is more than possible....i suppose the smell should give it away. There is quite a lot of literature that suggest various names for H.virginea,each author being different so what i have tended to do,scientifically correct or not,is to lump them together as H.virginea agg as i can't begin to define them individually. |

We saw exactly the same fungi Judy at Kedleston hall last week and i cannot find it anywhere. It wasn't numerous by any means and a solitary trooping group of around a dozen individuals was all that was visible across the whole pasture. I do know a fungi expert on another forum so i will see what Nick can come up with. |
