      Growing with pine roots.

      First one; about 2cm across and 2.5cm high. Slim tough brown stem, brown cap, ragged, uneven gills. A bit past their best!

      Second one; about 1cm high, acutely conical, bright yellow cap. White, brittle stem.

        Hi,

        Hmmm – I’m not familiar at all with these. – Two very rare species I think! ;)

        I’m not 100% certain, but the first one could possibly be something like the “Square Stemmed April Foolscap”.

        And the second could well be the “Lemon-Painted Q-tip Club”

        :D :D :D

        Regards,

        Mike.

          I do hate it when people don’t put the correct Latin names for species rather than the local common names.

          I’ve looked these up in Lassooo and Peterborough and can’t find them anywhere.

            Ah yes, I think have that book – “Anthropogenic (sensu lato) Mushrooms and Fungi of Great Britain”. ;) :D 😳

              I don’t think I’ve got that book, I’ll have to look it up.

              Local gossip has the second one as Yellow Baby Budding Clubs, but I bow to the greater knowledge of the Fungal Forum!

              Hope everyone has had a good April 1st.

                How about Leucocoprinus birnbaumii for the yellow one?
