I will let others have a go at identifying the others. Pretty pooped after a very long weekend doing fungi walks at Parham House.

Interesting as another site listed them as different common names

Reading the link you gave above it appears the Leopard has a small stalk and looking at the images above I can now see that. Guess the other site needs to do a bit of homework.
Thanks as always Geoff.

Yes...
Your others:
Yes, Spindleshanks.
No but close, Caloboletus radicans (I think)
Russula, probably cyanoxantha
Amanita citrina
All in the new book.
Looking forward to the book as you know, cannot see number three in the book and struggling to find it on the web.
Yellow stainer? Not sure if this is agaricus xanthoderms or a common Field / Horse mushroom. I'm not getting a carbolic smell from it, but it does bruise yellow quickly.
Any help much appreciated.

Out with the dog this morning, windy but bright and bracing.
Lots of field mushrooms gathered, plus some I'm less certain of and would appreciate help with. I've got Geoff Dan's book on the Amazon Wishlist for Christmas, in the meantime I'm using Roger's Mushrooms and two pocket guides.
For scale, the knife blade is 11cm long, the hole is 13mm
1. This biggy in field, part of a ring? Is it Agaricus urinascens (formerly Macrosporus?) Distinctive underside of ring (scaled).
2. At first glance I thought these were field mushrooms but the craggy central cap area gave me doubts:
3. Are these hygrocybe persistens? It's on a grassy cliff-top, no woodland.
Grooved stem:
4. I thought this looked like a Panthercap, rather than a Blusher, due to the stem/volva junction being well-demarcated but maybe it's neither?! It's on a grassy cliff-top, no woodland.
Many thanks for advice/input.

OK...I am unlikely to be able to keep up with identifications in this thread in the coming weeks so please don't wait for me to offer IDs.
Regarding the last post - yes Agaricus macrosporus/urinascens. I'm curious about the last one though. Looks like an Amanita to me but these are all obligatory symbiotes with trees. There MUST be a tree within 30 metres.

It's an Agaricus and its edible. Smell will be important in figuring out which one, but I need to take a break from my books...
Please have a break from the books- don't let your passion become a chore, nor your expertise a burden!
Thanks again.
Stopped at the gym and found these 2 under a birch tree in some grass. Quite happy that they are brown birch bolete same as the others I keep finding but what's the reason for the crackled cap?
Is it the time of year. Checked other references but nothing like that in pics. thanks.

I have never seen a brown birch bolete that looked like that. Maybe some other brown Leccinum.
Oh! It tasted fine anyway!!! Thanks. I'll have a look back where I found it and see what there is. cheers
Something interesting growing between the bricks in my mother in law's garden:
Weeping Widow, by the look of it.
Found on a long dead elder:
Jew's ear/Jelly Ear, surely?
This one's purple!
This one, and thousands more like it were in a pine plantation.
This one was on the edge of a path through the woodland:
Didn't take any home this time, it was interesting enough just to see them.
