Hey!

Got a few here that I spotted in our local woods, any ideas people?

Thanks

The second one I am pretty sure is Laccaria amethystina, the Amethyst Deceiver

Well a late night foray after some heavy rain and a nice haul of brown birch bolete. However there was another bolete, under the same birch tree and well away from the Larch boleles that I found earlier.

Velvet cap, yellow pores, round looking pores, yellow on the stem. It's in my 'no eat' ID list just now as it's either yellow or stains blue.
Tried the usual google but it threw up more possibilities than I could cope with so it remains 'no eat'.

Check against Oak Bolete and Iodine Bolete.

Any thoughts on what these two are? Top one is quite large, stem is a light brown near the top and very shiny.

The second one was found growing abundantly near beech and oak trees.

Top one maybe Spindleshanks. Bottom Amethyst Deceiver

 

[petrochemicals]

Found this a couple of months ago by birmingham university. In a pile of fertiliser around a decorative pine of some. Kind


I've found a gian puff ball before but I was wondering about the cracking in the dome

 

[nephilim]

Can I get some identification on these 2 please? They grew on an open field near a tree and hedge

Can't be anything but a giant puffball, but the cracking is indeed strange.

Thanks Geoff, I was thinking it may be a foreign import myself. It was quite hot so I suppose it may be rapid drying.

Just looking for conformation really.
I thinks this is a Powdery Brittle-gill.



I think this is a Wood Blewit



I think this is a Shaggy Inkcap

 

[Geoff Dann]

Last two are correct, but you've gone a bit astray on the first one. That looks like an Aniseed Funnel to me. What does it smell like?

 

[Snake]

Sounds a daft response, but it just smelt "fungus ish", but I did not brake it open just took the pic and put it back.

Hey chaps.. can someone confirm that the attached images are honey fungus please?

Yep, that's the fellas

 

[quietone]

Thanks Bob. I was pretty sure, but think those in the shot are brand new, baby ones. They were near perfect condition. Found these Parasol the other day too, but had no receptical to carry them in during the stroll, so left them for others to find and enjoy.

Found a few of these on arable land, nowhere near the hedgerow. I initially thought Stubble Rosegill, but the spore print was brown

 

[Snake]

Found these last week under a hedge, they are about 6 inch across
