IDs please

[merrygold85]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could ID these shrooms I photographed today at a pine plantation. I didn't want to disturb them so I took as good photos as I could with them in the ground.

So there's this:

And then there's this:

Thanks guys.

bottom one an old fly agaric with the spots washed off. Working on the top one, mycena galericulata maybe.

Growing in grass?

Does look like it...

I know it looks wrong to me too, thats why I am not sure. I am bit unsure of the size from the photo, the gills dont have a coloured edge.
Mycena can be little minks for growing on really tiddy bits of substrate, but wrong substate is a wrong ID. Hydropus conicus grows on pines needle but is unrecorded for the uk, so it is probably something dirt common that grows on grass.

I don't think it is dirt common. I was considering Galerina, maybe clavata or something similar...

I would go with that.

anti tumour properties to boot.

It is a weird year for mushrooms. Not a lot of very common edilble mushrooms , but alot of small wierd ones I have never come across before. The learning curve never ends.

Not to mention the lethal amatoxins. This one is as dangerous as Galerina marginata, and I can imagine somebody thinking it was a tawny grisette.

Yes. All sorts of normal things missing, some of them completely (bay boletes round my way), but things turning up that I've never found before - including Pseudocraterellus sinuosus and Agrocybe cylindracea, both of which are delicious.
