Until the experts turn up: I think 3 is Shaggy Inkcap & 5 Birch Polypore.
Hi all,
TBH I can't add much to Pete's (correct) suggestions..
1&2 - No idea. TBH A photo showing the underside is probably of more use for ID purposes than a cap photo. Just stick a knife/key/other tool into the soil just below the stem and hook one out and turn it over (this way you minimise handling of the stem and don't damage any useful features.
4 - Gymnopilus sp. (Photo of stem needed to get it to species level)
6 - Ganoderma sp. Was this one on Oak?
Cheers,
Nick

Thanks for your reply Nick. I'm a total novice with fungi so tips like needing an underside shot for ID is really useful. As it happens I do have one for 4 which I've attached. I'm afraid that I don't know what tree 6 was on as it was just a dead trunk (and I'm no good with trees either!). Someone on iSpot has suggested Weeping Widow for 1 though they too suggested an underside shot for confirmation. I'll know to do that in future.
Thanks again
Adam

Just to let people know that I also posted these to iSpot and got the following ID's
1. Possibly Weeping Widow though it needs and underside shot
2. pass
3. Shaggy Ink-Cap
4. Spectacular Rustgill
5. Birch Polypore
6. Ganoderma agg.
I've got a couple more here if people are able to help. I've included under cap shots as well. I hope there's enough to ID them - the first two are the same fungus as are the last two.
TIA
Adam
