I found a couple of fairy rings today and from Roger Phillips and google images, I'm pretty sure that they are Fairy Ring Champignon but your view would be welcomed:

 

[Geoff Dann]

Yes............

Can anyone help identify the following for me please?

 

[Harvestman]

That's a loooong list. Have a go on the internet for a few of those. there are some easy to find mushroom identification resources out there.

You have Fly agaric (red with white spots), at least one ink cap, I suspect a milk cap, and the last one I think might be Amethyst deceiver, but don't take my word for any of that.

 

[Geoff Dann]

1 Russula nigricans (or very close relative)
2 unidentifiable from the pic
3/4 Russula species could be any of about 10
5 some boring bracket fungus can't be bothered to look it up...
6/7 common inkcap
8/9 spectacular rustgill
10/12 fly agaric
11 not sure
13 amethyst deciever

 

[Harvestman]

You see, don't listen to me. I had 3/4 as a possible milk cap, but as soon as Geoff says Russula it is obvious he is right. I'm no good at Russulas.

 

[Coldfeet]

Thanks guys, I was sure about the Agaric, but everything else I had no idea. I may have another pic of number 2 that I can post.

Hello all, despite my efforts I cannot identify the following from the books I have Any ideas?

Thanks

 

[cranmere]

Do you have any idea what sort of wood it is growing on? What sort of woodland is it?

 

[TallTom]

No idea on the wood it was potentially dragged out of the Thames a while back. It's deciduous woodland, false acacia, Ash, hawthorn, sycamore nearby.

I found a few of these this morning while out with the dogs

They're reminiscent of oyster mushrooms... I didn't pick any.

Found this too... jack russell pointer cross for scale.

Pretty sure its dryads saddle but confirmation would be nice.

Cheers!

 

[Geoff Dann]

Yep, oysters and dryad's saddle.

 

[Harvestman]

Ok, some from a recent walk in Wentwood

Tawny grisette Amanita fulva (gills were pure white)

Blackish-purple russula, Russula atropurpurea (I think, but wouldn't be surprised to be wrong)

Birch polypore
