Hazel,

Photo 6 & 7. Laccaria lactata - The Deceiver.
Agreed on Yellow Brain Fungus

Photo 4 & 5. Mycena flavoalba type. There are quite a few very close congeners and macro/microscopic examination would be the only way to identify this one.

Photos 1,2,3,8 and 9 are all Mycena types Hazel but again, spore print would be the only sure way. Most of this genus however does grow on dead wood (moss covered especially) so i might be able to narrow it down a little more.

I'll look at the last two shortly.

This is a fungi I saw whilst out walking yesterday along an old disused rail track which has been turned into a green track for cyclists and walkers. The first 2 are of the fungi which was grouped round the base of a tree and the third photo is of the leaves on the tree although the wind looks to have caused some blurring on the photo.

This second fungi is growing in the driveway of my friends house which is covered in gravel and I have no idea what the substrate is other than they had the bungalow built on part of one of their farm fields 30 years back. The first picture is part of the mass, the second is a photo of the underside and the 3rd shows the whole of the growth.

Hi Hazel.

The first type is a Mycena sp and the second looks like an Entoloma type. I'll look into it in more detail.

Today I have been for a walk round Shakerley Mere. It is a lake set next to the M6 and is a nature park of sorts run by the council. It is a mile to walk round it and it is set amongst a small woodland consisting mainly of birch trees with a few other deciduous types and a very few pines along the side of the M6 and a couple of holly trees. These are some pictures of fungi I found there.

woo! they're coming in fast and furious now , Dave :lol2: .. :hot: : )

I wondered if this was a Birch Polypore .. piptoporus betulinus .. i found it in a couple of books and i see it's very similar to that of Micks above

above and below . though the below is pretty awful :bag: i'm sure i remember it had gills . I also wondered if the third photo was the same ... just turned lumpy as it aged :giggle: ..... but on second thoughts , it looks like a hoof ?
