Some from today (28-05-2009)

I made a few fungi discoveries today on my wanders, the first serious fungi for months!

1. Coprinus Sp.

1.


2. Mosaic Puffball, Handkea utriformis 9cm in diameter

2.


3. Unknown, 11cm across and smelled like rotting potatoes

3.


4. Unknown, found on sand.

5. Unknown

[Cybershot]

1. Parasola plicatilis
4. Psathyrella ammophila/Conocybe dunensis
5. Laetiporus sulphureus

Only confident that the last one is certain, and in many cases, with experience over at WAB, I am hesitant to suggest IDs without microscopic back up so use the above as starting points for further research of your own. Good luck (see if you can persuade Andreas Gminder - aka Mollisia on WAB -from Jena to give you the benefit of his vast and knowlegable experience.

A good collection never the less

Thanks David, I will title the Laetiporus sulphureus and see if anyone else confirms your suggestions on the others.
I have seen posts by Andreas Gminder and find him so clever it's scary where fungi is concerned, I might pluck up courage and ask .

Any thoughts on the smelly potato one (nr3) ?

I think I know what this is now at long last .

It's a puffball!

I saw another today in the same area as the other one but this time there was a little clue next to it!
