That time of year again. Have a few fungi I have found I can't seem to ID. Have more to post and will do when I can. Both of these were found in a Birch/Scot's Pine woodland with some beech trees. I went to an area of the woodland that was on top of a hill. In an open area surrounded by birch and Scot's Pine trees and a couple of beech trees, I found about 10 different fungi species in the small area, seemed to be all over the place
Can't seem to find out what these 2 are. Help appreciated.

Re: Some fungi for ID
Dear Dave,
Having only recently started dabbling with fungi myself, I can't personally help with the ID but can recommend the following:
Mushrooms by Roger Phillips. Published by Macmillan in 2006. There is also a website at http://www.rogersmushrooms.com. Amazon currently have the book available at half price: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0330442376/r ... 0330442376.
In addition, The Association of British Fungus Groups has a useful forum on their website: http://www.abfg.org.
Hope this helps?
Kind regards. Mark

Re: Some fungi for ID
Thanks Mark. I currently have two books on fungi. One being the River Cottage Handbook 1 Mushrooms and the other a field guide which I can't find. I'll check out that fungi group link.
