July fungi, Cumbria UK

There wasn't an awful lot of cap fungi around while I was in The Lake District this year, I was a month earlier than last time I was over. There was lots of Turkey tale (Trametes versicolor) and small brown and white caps which weren't really interesting to me.

The stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus) was my best find, I found it whilst walking from Monk Coniston to Tarn Howes, lets be honest - my nose found it when my eyes would have completely missed it!




The others I haven't had time to ID yet, so any help would be appreciated. I wasn't actually out looking for fungi but was walking and just took quick piccies on my way, so I haven't been good at getting measurements and photo's of different angles etc - sorry.

Images 1,2 and 3 were all taken at Haybridge Nature reserve.

1. I was that busy looking at the dead mans fingers I didn't notice the red flame like fungi until I checked the images on the computer, so an ID would be good!

1.

2. These were about 2cm tall, there were more than these and some had opened out a lttle and others were alot smaller. This was the easiest to photograph.

2.

3.

4. Seen at Monk Coniston about 8cm tall.

A varied selection indeed -

1. I would suggest this is Calocera cornea - Small Stagshorn; much smaller than it's cousin C. viscosa, has no branchlets and grows on deciduous wood all year round.

4. Looks to me like Agrocybe rivulosa

Thanks David - I have only seen stagshorn which is yellow before so this is a nice find for me.
These few finds have wet my whistle and I am looking forward to the new season starting in ernest now.

No 3 could be Melanoleuca melaleuca
No 2 might be as you suggest a young Helvella lacunosa

Certain that you're correct with your Helvella suggestion Shirley, and Mal's suggestion down to species I would say is spot on.
