2 fungi for ID please. (1 Viewer)

The first was in leaf litter, wouldn't have bothered as it was faded but saw it had a lovely lilac stem contrasting with the white gills, so thought I may get somewhere but failed. Cap about 25mm across and very brittle with a white spore-print with odd shaped spores.

The second on an old log, would it be split-gill, Schizophyllum commune, as it wasn't white or furry.

Many thanks!

Hi Colin,

The first is Cystolepiota bucknalii.
The second might just be Panellus stipticus with some weird gill-interveining?

Cheers,
Nick
 
Thanks Nick, I did think of a lepiota-type because the spores resembled the boat-shape of L.cristata, but no combination of lepiota with lilac, violet purple etc gave anything to look twice at.
