Hi Grayling.

Yes, yours do look very much like Leratiomyces ceres.

It does appear to be highly variable as well Grayling, especially the colouration of the cap when young.

Thanks Dave :cool3:

I wonder if Happyhare might be visiting there soon, if so it is on the left hand side of the path leading down to the Goosander Hide :cool3: No Challenge points but it would be interesting to see it a bit more advanced :giggle:

Tricky to say for sure without seeing the stem in detail but my first thought is Macrolepiota rachodes (Shaggy Parasol)

thank you very much ,Dave ... i had three photos and i'm sure the other ( which i deleted :doh: ) had some of the stem .

When i Googled the shaggy parasole , it shows at first something i hadn't seen .. but further down and from Images i see it's that one . I then looked up further ID :thud: Spores .. green or white :thud: :grin: It's so difficult and something which'll take a month of Sunday's to get to grips with Posted Image I should have started years ago :pickfungi:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore_print

Meanwhile .. just sorting others :bag: .. as they might just do for the Photo Challenge :nod:

Are these photos of orange peel fungi? I wasn't sure because of where they were growing as the books always say in stony paths. I found 2 lots both of which were growing among the exposed root system of field maple trees.

This is one from my last visit to Ebernoe. On a rotten moss covered log - I'm wondering if it might be an Iodine Bonnet but the photo isn't great.

Agreed on Orange Peel, Hazel. They primarily grow on soil substrate so a path with a soil base is a good spot for them.

Looks good for Iodine Bonnet to me Grayling. Not sure on the last one yet but i would say a Psathyrella type.

The Iodine bonnet can go on the screening thread as well Grayling.

I wonder if this might be Grey Spotted Amanita? Under beech - I couldn't get very close so apologies for the poor photos.
