Well done Mick.

Still working on your fungi Grayling but i can't find a match by searching for all the fungi with an association with Alder.

Post 1191, number 8 Paula could even be Sulphur tuft in the throws of decay. I can't see a stem ring which would discount an Armillaria sp (Honey Fungus) and even in decay, this shows some degree of a stem ring.

Number 5 of your set Jen is a Fibrecap sp but i don't think i can get any closer than that i'm afraid.

Dave, don't worry about that other one, thankyou though :cool3:

Is this Golden Scalycap? Presominantly beech woodland with some oak and this was on the sawn through trunk of a beech tree.

Posted Image

and are these Shaggy Inkcap? I only ask because the caps were much longer then I've seen them before and I've not seen them growing in a clump like that either. Again Beech woodland.

Hi Paula.

The second of your fungi looks like Pleurotus ostreatus.

I agree with both of those id's Grayling.

OK, thanks Dave :cool3:

A few more - this one was growing inside a trunk of an oak tree - the tree was still alive but the trunk was largely hollow. I wonder if it is Brick Tuft?

Posted Image

The following are all from the same wood - mainly beach, some oak, hazel, yew, birch

This one was along the pathside in the wood yesterday - and wonder if it is a Lilac Dapperling?

Posted Image

A Bolete of some kind? - again the same wood.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Beachwood Sickener?

Posted Image

Posted Image

Dogs Vomit Fungi?

Posted Image

Wood Blewit?

Posted Image

Posted Image

Not sure but now I'm home wonder if these are Deathcaps? I didn't think at the time to move the leaves from the base of the stem - must remember to do that in future ............

Hi Grayling.

1. Looks like the early stages of Inonotus dryadeus (Oak Bracket)

2. Agreed on Cystolepiota bucknallii (Lilac Dapperling)

3 & 4. Leccinum scabrum (Birch Bolete)

5. Agreed on Russula emetica (Beechwood Sickener)

6. Agreed on Dog Vomit Fungus.

7. Certainly a Clitocybe (Lepista sp) and either Clitocybe nuda or Clitocybe saeva. In Clitocybe nuda, the gills have a violet flush when young and in Clitocybe saeva, the gills are pinkish-buff but never violet. Gills are crowded in both sp so not identifiable from that alone or by spore print which is often pale pink/buff. The top photo of this one, looking at the top fungi out of the group, i can see that the gills look violet so that should id this as Wood Blewit.

8. The last one does appear to be an Amanita sp but would need to see the colour inside the volva to be sure. If Death Cap it would show a greenish tinge.

Many thanks Dave, and thanks for all the useful information too :thankyou2:

I'm always a bit worried about touching some fungi and usually have wipes with me to clean my hands, but didn't on this occasion so didn't get too close - I'll try to make sure I get more details in future. :cool:

Ok Grayling :cool2:

Your fungi Happyhare is a Milkcap (Lactarius sp)

Hi Andy.

The first on is Shaggy Inkcap. Photo 3 looks like a Birch Milkcap (Lactarius Sp. Not sure on the second one...what type of trees were nearby and is it growing on wood/bark chips?

Mick,

It looks more like a Trooping Funnel (Clitocybe) type to me....were there quite a few in a line?

Cheers Mick.

There are a number of Clitocybe fungi which can form a fairy ring so i think i am right on that count but without a spore print i might be struggling to get it any closer than that.
