Agreed on the Cortinarius sanguineus Grayling and they really are a stunning colour. I'll have a look at the other one. Can you remember what size the cap was? |

Thanks for the ID confirmation Dave I'm rubbish at guestimating sizes so I've attached a photo of one of the other fungi which also shows my lens cap which is 52mm - not sure if that helps Not long ago we were out and found a large fungi with a 5p on it which had been left behind, presumbly someone used it to give an idea of size. I should remember to do that too. |

Thanks Dave - much appreciated Sorry but here is another one - From the depressed centres like that I think they are Milkcaps, the only one in my book that looks similar with that pinky colour is Lilacscale Milkcap. Again found yestreday at Ebernoe Common which is known for its' fungi (from what I've read) and has some rare species and my book tells me Lilacscale Milkcap is rare but it has to grow somewhere so it might be right It is a deciduous woodland with birch.The one thing that makes me think it isn't is that the book says the stipe is smooth where this one looks quite rough but maybe that's an age thing? Not very good photos I'm afraid but I'd be interested to hear what you think

I would agree with Clavulinopsis corniculata (Meadow Coral) Grayling. I'm not sure about the last one as yet, it might even be a Clitocybe sp, trooping in a line such as that is one pointer and the rough looking stipe is another. I think in either way a spore print might be required Grayling, if they are still there and if you can visit again, it might be worth taking some plain white paper and try and get a spore print. |

Thank you very much for the coral confirmation Dave. I'll look up that variety you have suggested for the other one - thank you for the suggerstion. I would like to go back there but finding them again might be a problem we were wandering all over the wood trying to find a way out but if we hadn't been doing that I'd never have seen the stinkhorn so won't complain too much. I saw this one today - sandy heathland so probably acid soil at the base of a conifer stump although some one had already picked it. Oak, conifer, birch all in the immediate area. I thought it would be quite easy to id from its' lovely colour and the stipe being the same colour too. I did think it might be a boletus at first but it has gills rather than pores.

It does look bolete-like doesn't it! I'll have a look Grayling. We have done that in the past, tried to find a fungi we have passed in a woodland and got lost

Please could you identify these fungi I saw on a walk yesterday. They were in a mixed forestation with both deciduous and coniferous trees. No.1 ![]() No. 2 ![]() No. 3 ![]() ![]() No. 4 ![]() ![]() No. 5 ![]() ![]() No. 6 This was like a bright yellow puff ball and it appeared that there had been another one which was dying off after splitting open.

Thank you for all my fungi identifications hopefully next year I will be able to identify a few myself with the help of book I have now purchased but it still seems that there are so many that look alike so will probably be mithering you again.

Post 1088 Grayling could be a young Clitocybe nebularis. |
