Out and about Near Loch Lomond (picture heavy)

[DrDoug]

Hi all,

this is my first post and I thought I would try and make it a good one. I was camping this weekend in the Loch Lomond area and went out on the mushrooms and took a few pictures of what I found.


First up

Yellow Stagshorn (Calocera viscosa)

Then

Stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus)

Blushing Wood mushroom (Agaricus silvaticus)

Salmon salad (Tremiscus helvelloides)

Shaggy Inkcap (Coprinus comatus)

The Deceiver (Laccaria laccata)

Common Earthball (Scleroderma citrinum)

Sulphur Tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare)

and a few more that I was unsure of or unable to ID

Ochre Brittlegill (Russula ochroleuca) ??

No Idea about this one !

Quite a few of these about but unable to ID

Finally there were lots and lots of these but again no ID.

If you have any suggestions to what my mystery mushrooms are that would be great.


Thanks

Douglas

What fabulous photos:You_Rock_

The amanita looks like a citrina as the the volva is adhered to the stem, it could be the very rare amanita asteropus as there appears is fuzzyness on the stem below the ring. There is no record for a asteropus in the british isles.

Not sure on the others. the bottom appers to be a cortinarius, as it may have web fragments on the stem just below the cap. Big group to look up I maybe awhile.

Great shots. Maybe worth contacting the rangers for specialist advice especially if that is a rare variety.

Did you paddle out ?

Could the bottom one be a Tawny Funnel ?

Some lovely images there. Nice to know I managed to guess-ID a couple from the pictures too. I must be getting better

I've never actually seen one in person before, but could the one I've included here be a destroying angel?
There's a couple of things about it that reminded me of the pictures I've seen of one in a book I was reading.

I've only been mycologizing for a few weeks now so I could be way off base there - though thinking something is the angel when it isn't is hardly likely to get me into trouble

Could the bottom one be a Tawny Funnel ?

That crossed my mind to, but tawny funnel caps have plain stems that don't flair out at the bottom. The baby one that is coming out the bottom looks more typical of cortinarius, and the stuff the stem behind the piece of grass looks like the spiders web stuff you get on corts. This is why spore print colours are important, web caps have brown and funnel caps white. It could even be a milk cap.

It is hard work IDing just from photos even when the photos are really good. It does show how many little features you have to look for.

very nice pictures.

I find it very interesting to learn the english names for the fungi aswell. And with such a good pictureshow, it is manageable to crossreference on my own aswell.
Very good post!
