Hi Dave difficult to identify fungi without knowing on what they were growing and the gill colours, turn the sample over and take a pic of the gills it makes identification easier.

Any here goes, given english names as apposed to latin;-
1 Orange peel fungi
2 Amithyst deciever
3 Brown rim rollup (poisonous)
4 ? looks in last stages of decay.
5 could be a Field mushroom
6 possibly an Inocybe.

Good-oh, got some healthy looking specimens in the garden (which someone who knows a lot more than me called brown roll-rim, but presumably the same species?).

If you know Aleuria aurantia as the Orange Peel fungus, then I suspect you are wrong with no. 1. These specimens clearly have gills, but A. aurantia does not. I don't have any idea what they actually are though!

No 2 I think is a boletus of some sort as I can see no trace of gills. Amethyst Deceiver should have a purple, and much slimmer stem, too.

I think 3 and 4 are the same, but your guess of the species is as good as any.

Thanks for you reply Sean.

I'm totally stumped by the first one as well and i must admit my first thought was orange peel fungi.I have looked on Rogers mushrooms and used the visual key and the other key (the name eludes me at the moment!) and nothing seems to match.Does anyone know of any other UK fungi id websites?

Hi No it aint Orange peel fungi, but I dont know of any other fungi that colour and that shape???????. One of my books apparently does show gills, but the other doesnt, should have read both!
Cant find a Bolete that colour either, so sorry mate, looks like I need to look more carefully at the pics.

Yours Peter
