Fungi help again please (1 Viewer)

[heakl]

I thought this fungi business might be a bit of a challenge, I was right apart from the "bit".

If someone would help (yes please Nick) with these I'd be very greatful. Both found in mixed woodland on the Cotswolds, both gave a white spore print. There were loads of the creamy-brown ones, some of them up to 6" across, perhaps Common Funnel Cap!
Only found this one red specimen and it was roughly 2" across, looks more like a Russula than anything else in Collins but they don't show one with the red stem.

Dear Alan

I would suggest the first is a Clitocybe sp - perhaps C. phyllophila?

The second is Russula, almost certainly what is now called R. rosea, but used to be called R. lepida

I agree with David, as long as the Russula didn't have any weird (fishy!) smells.


Cheers,

No fishy smell, thanks to both of you.
