Is this a Sulphur Tuft then. Is it poisonous?

Hi Helen.

It could be. Some of the cap shapes don't quite fit but i have not found anything similar. If it is Sulphur Tuft then it is poisonous. If ingested it can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, proteinuria and in rare cases, collapse. Paralysis and impaired vision have also been recorded.

Oh my goodness. :huh: Shall I get rid of it? Do you think animals might eat it. My cat for instance? :ok: Seriously she has had diarrhoea but only since she has been to the vets and having had an anaesthetic which the vet said might be the cause. Having said that I haven't seen the squirrel for two days. :(

Hi Helen

I'm not sure whether domestic pets would ingest it but you could remove it, just to be on the safe side.

I think this is Oak Bolete? :paul:

Found in grassland bordering mixed woodland comprising oak, pine, hawthorn, birch.

You can just about make out in picture 3 that the stipe is turning blue where I broke one of them off.

Another couple

1 and 2 - I originally wondered if this was a Stump Puffball but now think it is more likely to be a young Common Puffball?

3 and 4 - possibly a Trooping Funnel?

5, 6 and 7 - maybe a Trooping Funnel as well but its' gills look the wrong colour but that might be age?

All found in mixed woodland - oak, beech, birch.

Hi Grayling

Agreed on Oak bolete and Common puffball.

They could be a trooping fungi with both Clitocybe gibba and Clitocybe geotropa being very similar in their early stages but i would really need to study them further.

The Oak bolete and Common puffball could go on the screening thread :cool2:

Some great fungi Mick.

This may take me some time but i'll go through them rest assured.

The last one i would say was a young Russula emetica.

cheers dave, the two fungi 1+2 and 8+9 were really slimy to the touch if that helps

8 and 9 could be a Hygrophorus sp, i'll work on that basis.

14 and 15 looks like a Lactarius sp. Can you remember what trees (if any) were in the vicinity Mick?

I think this might be a Cep :thinking:

Seen on my walk today - sandy acidic soil, birch and some pine

It was quite velvety to the touch.

cheers dave, i was thinking possibly milk cap for 14+15 also although nothing oozed out when a bit broken off but im not sure if all milk caps do that?
trees nearby were mostly conifers. all these were on the track through the forest, on the verge of the ditches that run either side of the track so werent under any trees as such, apart from the russulla which was under conifers.

These were tiny and grew in large clumps

These were bigger

I think these are shaggy inkcap (or something like that)

All types were in the same patch of grass, not over shadowed by trees. Any feedback welcome. :thanks:

I think that these 2 different fungi are both Dyer's Mazegill Phaeolus schweinitzii?

1 & 2 found at the base of a rotting pine stump on heathland this morning.

3 & 4 found at the base of a pine tree yesterday in a pinewood adjoining heathland.

I would agree with Cep, Grayling and with Shaggy inkcap :cool2:

The top one of your's Tabatha could be a Mycena sp and the second one looks like a Coprinus sp.

I'm sticking with a Hygrophorus sp Mick but i can't get any closer than that i'm afraid. I'll try and sort through some of the others shortly.

Just to let you all know that we are going away for three weeks on Saturday so we might struggle to keep up with the id's, please keep posting them though and i'm sure once we have internet connection from the second week we should be able to take a look at them.

Once we are back i will go through any backlog :cool2:
