Re: ID please beginner
. . . sorry if my questions are very obvious . . . . . No need to apologise for asking questions. - We all started as beginners, all of us will have asked many similar questions at some time or other, and all of us will have (and in my case still do!) make some obvious mistakes when identifying thi...

Re: ID please beginner
Hi, and welcome to UK Fungi. ( I have deleted your other post as it was basically a repeat of the first). Your original post was not visible to you at the time, because, being a new member, it required admin approval. The first are Collybia butyracea (Buttercap). The others do have the looks of Myce...

Re: Possible Tubaria furfuracea
Hi, These certainly appear to have all the right sorts of characteristics for Tubaria furfuracea : - Growing amongst woodchips, hygrophanous, scurfy caps, veilar remanants at cap margins, white mycelium at stem base (just about visible on left hand example in final photo). From my own experience wit...

Re: Request to ID button fungi
Hi, I'd be surprised if this doesn't turn out to be Melanotus horizontalis , which is often found growing on old hemp ropes, hessian sacks and the like. Your photos show very small (and I would suspect freshly emerging) fruitbodies, which look very similar to M.horizontalis at that same stage of gro...

Re: Any help appreciated with this ID
Hi,
I suppose it has the potential (without microscopy) to be any one of several species,
but it does have the general looks of Postia ptychogaster.

Re: 3 to ID please
Hi,
No guess on the first.
Second may be something like Lepiota castanea. - But only a guess based upon that species having some similarity in its looks.
Last one is a young Armillaria (Honey Fungus) species. - With that bulbous base to stem - maybe Armillaria gallica.

Mike.

Re: Deadly little brown mushroom?
Might well be, although I've never seen it with umbo's like that.
However, Kuehneromyces mutabilis which is probably much more common, also looks very similar when freshly emerged and when it hasn't yet shown its hygrophanous characteristic of pale centre to the caps.

Mike.

Re: Needs ID
Hi, I think I can see one or two mica crystals near the margin at right hand side of cap in final image. If so, that would make these Coprinellus micaceus - Glistening Inkcap. The fruitbodies here have the typical sort of look for that species, (I suspect growing on rotting buried wood here), when t...

Re: Fungi - or something else?
Hi, I'd suggest that obtaining one or two general "Mushrooms & fungi" books would help you with quite a few things you will find. - They will also give you some idea of what you might see, and the sort of characteristics that you should be looking for when you do find something that interests you. Y...

Re: Found on Norfolk golf course
Hi,
Yes, the first two look ok for Amanita phalloides - (Deathcap).
The third photo is an Ascocoryne species, freshly emerging.
At this stage, Ascocoryne sarcoides, and Ascocoryne cylichnium are, (macroscopically), pretty much identical.

Mike.

Re: Lovely yellow and red fungi
Hi, If, since they are said to be dry/slightly felty, and (with a stretch of the imagination!), because of the shape of that particular fruitbody's cap, the gills could be said to be adnate/notched, rather than decurrent, might these be Hypholoma lateritium (Brick Cap)? The cap colour is spot on, an...

Re: ID Request. Some mushrooms growing on wood I found yesterday
Hi, and welcome to UK Fungi. Not sure whether I'm going to be wildly astray here, because certain characteristics aren't mentioned or showing. i.e. I can't see any stem rings and you don't mention if they have them or not. And, is the spore print very scant? - Are they actually very dark spores that...
