happyhare, im not sure on that one, choice of 3. can I refer you to my post #54
I really need to see the stem and underside of the cap. Was the top of the cap smooth or not? If it is scaly thenit is an Armillaria.

Jean, yours I think is a ripe Reticularia lycoperdon.

Don't worry if you can't get all the info required Happyhare....i'm sure that if we can't get it down to actual species level we can at least point it in the right family direction.

I have the same trouble with moths and a lot need dissection to be 100% sure,i can do it but it is very tricky especially with my large hands :lol:

I second that Dave :grin: With a reasonably close photo of the cap and one of the underside showing the gills and stem most can be ID to Genus if not to exact species.
I found a brilliant tool in Lidl yesterday. They have a little toolkit with a mirror on an extending handle and another handle with a magnet for picking up things when I drop them and cant see them.
I gave the mirror a test run on fungi today and it works a treat.

Sounds a good bit of kit there Judy :cool:

Another try at bonnet fungi. These do look like the ones in the id check list for the challenge but I want to be sure!

:lol: not much! :giggle:

Myself and Julie only started taking an interest in fungi a couple of years ago and have been fascinated ever since. One of our 'want to see' fungi is the Green elfcup Chlorociboria aeruginascens and i can't believe we havn't stumbled across it yet!

I've never seen a green elfcup either Dave. Boo Hoo!

Anyway, another question :grin:

Are any of these Boletus?

Looking at the leaves surrounding the fungi i would guess Birch bolete for the first two. The second could well be an advanced stage of the first one but i'm not sure about the reddening gills....i'll check further.
