Oak Milk Cap - Lactarius quietus ??? White spores

Maybe Russula claroflava or ochroleuca but not fully identifiable? White spores

Possibly either of those for the Russula Geoff but other tests would be required. The Oak Milkcap looks ok to me, one which has a distinctive oily aroma.

I think this will be one where just getting to family level will be an achievement. Maybe Inocybe sp ? 30 mm diameter and brown spores.

I think these will be impossible; but I thought they made a nice group so I photographed them anyway.

I'll check on yours at some point today Geoff.
The Rumex might be infected by Ramularia rubella, Jen, but i'm not 100% sure. We might need a second opinion on this one.
I'm not very good when it comes to lichen but i'll try and take a closer look later on.

Geoff,
A fibrous cap with a bulbous stem along with brown gills and spores suggest Inocybe napipes
I presume the other is a Milkcap and if birch was present i would say these are Lactarius tabidus

I don't recall seeing one of these before, any ideas please? Growing under a hollow tree trunk in mainly beech woodland.

Hi Ann.
Really not sure, the decay under the cap and on the stem is probably too far gone to id. I will tke a closer look though.

Here is something which I don't understand (once again). Looks a bit like Lycoperdon but the fungi bodies are raising themselves on rather thin stems as they mature then eventually burst open. Several other uncertain fungi to come, once I have tried some spore prints.

Growing under a hollow tree trunk in mainly beech woodland. it could possibly be Phaeolus schweinitzii, albeit a little different looking than the normal, have a look at this link and see what you think, a further google for Phaeolus schweinitzii may well throw up a few more similar ones ?

Sorry Dave, I should perhaps have posted a better photo of the top as well.
Many thanks Ashgale, that looks spot on! I see that it is mainly seen on conifers but also on oak and cherry (which would have been more likely in that area than conifer).

No worries Ann and Ashgale looks spot on to me as well.

I have never seen a Scleroderma rise out of the ground on a thin stem before. I messed up on my focus but I will post what I have a little later. In the meantime here are some more which are confusing me. Possibly Coprinus or Psathyrella sp ?

Coprinus sp possibly?

Post by geoff on Sept 7, 2018 18:26:32 GMT
Maybe Mycena sp ? About 30 mm with white spores. No distinctive smell.
