Picture isn't brilliant, but I think the first pic is Lepiota castanea?

 

 

I think the second is Pholiota squarrosa?

few from this week and lastweek, i expect to be way off the mark for id as usual but here goes..

1. Scutellinia scutellata, eyelash fung on dead rowan

2. Ganoderma adspersum, on the same dead rowan

3. Chlorophyllum rhacodes, shaggy parasol

4. Salix handcutifung, i know it will regenerate but hey.. why not?

5. no idea, its not in my 'collins gem'

lepiota procera, rather than rhacodes, the shaggy is aptly named, and much browner, in shade under hollies and sycamores, as apposed to the much whiter open habitat loving procera

The two are very similar, but the whiter less scaled and open habitat is more likely procera, though the main thing is the stipe, procera has a snake skin like look as apposed to the more evenly brownish stipe on the shaggy rhacodes.

 

procera also has a more umbonate form, meaning it has a little raised point at the peak, not unlike a nipple! rhacodes is more or less completley concave or smoothly rounded over without peak:001_smile:

paxillus involutus i think and it was the size of a large dinnerplate!!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

These do get large for sure.
