Hi,
A few days ago, I went out onto my local patch and decided to have a look for fungi, well I spotted about 1 dozen different types.
The first two thumbs nails are I believe, Fly Agaric, the second, I believe is a Stink Horn. But 4 to 5 I've no idea can any one please put a name to them.
Thanks
Dave

I think you're spot on with 1-3 but I'm not sure about 4 & 5.

Hi Dave ! Greetings from Hungary !

As for 4 & 5, the nearest I can come up with is Hymenochaete rubiginosa which is found on dead branches and stumps.

It is velvety, dark brown with an orangey margin, and has a folded appearance. The book I consulted mentions that it is "fairly common in S. England". What that means for Doncaster, I don't know !!

If I'm not totally correct, at least I hope I've pointed you in the right direction.

Best wishes,

Colin.

Macswede,
Thank you for that.

Colin,
I'm op north. Thanks for the info, to be truthful I never considered 4 and 5 to be the same fungi. I understand that fungi can be difficult to identify, some very similar, with gills or without, is that true?

Numbers 4 and 5 are both Stereum species, which have the same shape of fruitbodies as Hymenochaete rubiginosa, but are completely unrelated. In fact on the basis of molecular studies, the genus Stereum is now grouped with Russula (russules) and Lactarius (milkcaps)!

Number 4 is Stereum hirsutum, very variable but the yellow edges of the young brackets are characteristic. For a free bonus mark, it looks like you have Stereum gausapatum just showing on the left-hand side of the photograph - characteristic white edge and this is one that stains red where scratched, occurs mostly on oak.

Number 5 is Stereum rugosum, another one that is very variable and scratches red.

Alan,
Thank you, for your answers. I'm now going to have to find them again, to give them a scratch.
