The Ultimate "What is this Fungi?" thread.

[Geoff Dann]

Spotted a small patch of these chaps today. Wet ground next to a small stream in a patch of mixed Hazel, Ash and Oak in North Cornwall. I thought maybe Yellow Brittlegill, but didn't have a book with me so left them. Suggestions from another group so far, funnel cap or oakbug milkcap.

Tawny Funnel. "Funnel Cap" doesn't mean anything - or it refers to the whole genus of Clitocybe (literally "sloping head").

 

[Geoff Dann]

it was very mushroomy when dried?
and it looked a bit dark to me it was a light purple?

What about this one? 😂 I think it's an agaricus?
Thank you in advance!

When young and fresh, yes. And yes the other one is an agaricus but I cannot tell you which one.

 

[dennydrewcook]

thanks! is that my dodgy photography or a bad specemin?

It's just difficult to identify Agaricus to a particular species anyway.

 

[dennydrewcook]

ah so avoid!

Some of them are easy enough - field mushrooms, horse mushrooms, the prince and a couple of others. The rest should be avoided unless you know what you are doing. This one doesn't immediately jump out and make its identity known but it's very probably edible...

Birch bolete is a strong contender mountainm

 

[Adze]

It was under larch, so I'm thinking larch bolete.

I think this is possibly a funnel species, but not 100% on which one. Poss chicken run funnel?

Looks like Clouded Funnel to me.

I'm only a novice at this lark, but my guess is 'the miller' although I wouldn't take my word on this.

I took this one today, not sure what it is mind

Poss Gymnopilus fulgens?

Hello all, can't find this in the books available to me (think I need a new more comprehensive guide), any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

WAY too big to be the miller, and the wrong shape and colour.

Looks like an elderly Trooping Funnel. Definately a Clitocybe of some sort.

And the bracket fungus is a Ganoderma.
