Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

[AJStrees]

Been out in the woodlands and found a few fungi of late.

Haven’t had a chance to ID them all yet. Comments welcome.

Have you IDed them yet?

 

I thought No 2 looked a bit like a slime mould but not like any I've seen. Then it occurred to me it could be something like a young hazel porecrust, dichomitus campestris, if it's on a hazel. (Nice name anyway even if I don't have a clue what it is).

 

5 looks like velvet shank.

 

4 I'm curious about, it looks like a very shaggy parasol, which can be quite variable, but I'm not sure.

 

Sorry, not much help this time.

Still looking through the books to be fair. They are probably all fairly common but hadn't seen the lilac looking mini mushrooms before picture 1. Going to have to keep going through my fungi guides. Cheers for the input though, will check them ones you have mentioned in my books.

I've not seen anything like the lilac fungi either but a bit of a search suggests Lilac Fibrecap, Inocybe geophylla var. lilacina, as a possiblity. Apparently common and deadly.

I found another one of these. 

Irony of it all is that it was on a tree 500m  from the Uni where the Professor works who has found one example in 30 years.

 

My wife gave him my first find which David identified for me.

Agree with Paul re the Velvet Shanks and Shaggy Parasol. Last one will probably be Ganoderma.

Among the potential candidates, also agree this is the likeliest, owing to the colours, stem surface texture and (initially) quite pointed cap shape.

No 3 is a bit far gone.

Found this today, slimemould type?

Yep, looks like Reticularia lycoperdon. Common and it'll gradually go grey/brown.
