Some very interesting ones there Jan.

Number 1 is Inonotus radiatus and can go on the fungi screening thread. I'll take a look at the others :cool2:

Sorry Dave you're so inundated with fungi at the moment......

Going back to one of my Scottish ones this one's quite like a Gymnopilus junonius - Spectacular Rustgill........right habitat but not in a clump :thinking:

Ahhh....yes! that looks spot on Paula. I have found some literature that suggests they can be solitary on occasions.

That can go on the screening thread as well :cool2:

Hi Paula.

Re: Second fungi.

I think it is Lactarius tabidus Paula as opposed to Lactarius aurantiaca :cool2:

I found the following fungi growing in my garden when I was mowing yesterday. The first 2 fungi were growing in between 2 fruit trees one a plum and one a pear tree. The ground has a lot of moss and not much real grass and the soil condition is very poor.

The first of the the next 2 photos is a new young group and the second is of an older group with one showing the underside.

These were very small and growing well down in the moss in fact the mower hardly touched them when I mowed after taking the photos. The third photo is a very tiny new one just emerging.

This next fungi was growing in a more open area with much better grass coverage and little or no moss. It was about 3-5 mm across and appeared to be slightly green looking on the cap but I thought it could just have been the colour coming through from the grass.

I thought it was a Chanterelle Dave because of the shape, I can't find a photo of a false one quite like that :thinking: ............but obviously my knowledge isn't always up to much :doh:

Do you think these could be Tricholoma terreum :thinking:

Agreed on the Tricholoma sp Paula....saw quite a few myself this afternoon.

That was my thought on the Chanterelle after looking at it again so i'm not too sure on that one at the moment.

Hi Paula.

Post 977, photo 1 looks very similar to a Solitary Amanita Amanita echinocephala. I can't see anything similar and most photos in this early stage appear to be a good match.
