I'll post a couple of pics for you. Im trying to convince him to keep the stem up as a molinoth (if thats spelled correct:blushing:) its also full of bugs and fungi etc. see what this forum is doing to me

Funny you say its not well, i was thinking that last clump of white mushrooms looked like the white version of Colybia fusipes, a root pathogen of beech and oak, makes more sense now you say that, there is usualy a few red blotches at the apex though, shape and form all right on though so wouldnt rule it out.

 

And good on you for the monolith proposal, nowt to be ashamed of upping your game my man:thumbup1:

There are two russalas in the shots, both same species, Russala emetica (the sickener) IMO

 

Hi there,

Yes definitely some Russula's, but definitely not the Sickener, R.emetica, as I'm sure Hama realises, these only grow with Conifers.

There is the possibility they are the Beechwood Sickener, R.nobilis, but other red capped Russula's could be possible.

 

As for "Freckled Dapperling" (yuk - these silly invented names !) or rather Lepiota aspera - hmmmm, it could be anything quite honestly.

 

The first 3 shots are probably all B.edulis, but don't rule out B.aereus.

 

Finally in the last but one shot, those are Hebeloma fungi, but as to which species, you would need a microscope and an up to date authoritative book which does not exist yet.
