Swiss Flowers and Fungi identification (1 Viewer)

[lazza]

I was travelling in Switzerland last week with work, and stopped off to eat my sandwich in Morgins, in the Valais region, near the border with France. I had a short wander around down into the surrounding forests hoping to see some nice Swiss forest birds, but I only managed a few tits and finches.

But I did find a few wild flowers still in bloom, and a few picked over patches of fungi, which I'd be grateful for help in identifying.

Flowers:
- I think the first is Devil's-bit Scabious, but as there are several similar species, and I'm not at all familiar with Swiss flora, I'd appreciate confirmation or correction!
- Next, a species of Lamiacea, which looks rather like one of the dead-nettle species, but I'm not sure.
- And third, I think this is possibly lesser burdock, but I am not sure.

Hi Lazza,

Ooohh those fungi are tough. All I can offer are the most tentative of suggestions:

1 - Looks just a bit like Pholiota highlandensis but this only grows (if I remember rightly) on fire sites.....

2 - Cortinarius sp. Sorry, can't narrow it down further

Cheers,
Nick

I'd id the plants as follows:
(1) Wood Scabious
(2) a Galeopsis, possibly pubescens but I find these horrendous...
(3) Great Marsh Thistle (Carduus personata)
