Here's a few waxcaps from today. As usual, I'm open to having mistakes pointed out.
Scarlet hood
Something yellow (no idea which species, nor do I expect an identification from an overhead picture)
Crimson waxcap. these were very very common today.
An orange one (possibly meadow waxcap, possibly not)
Pink waxcap. This is the rare Hygrocybe calyptraeformis. Known to occur at a local nature reserve in my area, and I finally went and saw it for myself today.
On this other hand, this fungus, not a waxcap, growing in coastal saltmarsh, has me absolutely baffled. I can't even get close to identifying it. Any of the experts have a clue?

Oh, Ok.
Just my little joke.
It fooled me when I first saw it, so I wondered if it would work on anyone else.

Good one Harvestman, is it a re-bar cover then?
Fairly easy one here, its pretty much exactly what it looks like as long as you imagine being really small and walking around the gills, lost.
Sorry but I didn't take any more pics showing the top but I doubt that will be a problem.
I have never seen anything like this its amazing to see whats out there. The very top image is really common we have them on all the local hills I walk on.
Hi guys and girls I found these among my vegetables can anyone I.d for me please .

No pictures but when I was up in Scotland a couple of weeks ago I came across a fungi I'd not seen before, I meant to ask on here but I forgot at the time. When I went for my morning constitutional I dug a hole at the base of a Sitka spruce, about 6 inches below the surface I found a perfectly round orangey coloured mushroom about the size of a large marble, maybe 20mm across. It wasn't attached to anything that I could see and it was just the one on it's own. It was perfectly smooth with the texture of a peach and felt quite firm.
Any ideas?

Oh yes, I meant to ask about this, largely because the picture has been selected for publication, but I don't know what the fungus is. Growing on an old stump.

That's a mycena, which are a long way from being an easy genus to identify to species from pictures. However, I *think* that is M. inclinata.

I stumbled onto a bit of last season fungi identification in my local supermarket car park of all places. These were growing out of the bark mulch and there were quite a few clumps of them. The closest I can get to an ID is the Blueleg Brownie (Psilocybe cyanescens) in Collin's guide and there were a few blue stained areas.
