DougParticipant
It looks like Pluteus cervinus to me see the pink tinge on the gills which suggests pink spores.
Doug.DougParticipantLooks good to me Jill. Doug.
DougParticipantCheck the spores with Phelinus conchatus which was found on birch branches in a pile. They are completely different according to Buczacki and should confirm your ID
Doug.DougParticipantI cant see any reason why it shouldn’t be Scleroderma verrucosum. Doug.
DougParticipantNow for the specimen shot
DougParticipantTom
The colony is now gone so I can’t do smell!. However I have a small specimen and if you are going to the Fishburn foray maybe you can bring the key.
Doug.DougParticipantThanks for the key John very helpful and my specimen ran straight down to Cheilymenia raripila a perfect fit with the wider asci 25-30 nothing less than these dimensions and many spores 25 x 13-15um The hairs on your specimen are septate almost to the apex whereas mine only seem to be septate near the base and don’t seem to be as densely distributed.
As mine is on cow dung I think we are pretty safe recording both species.
Doug.DougParticipantJohn
Great photographs and very convincing. I dont know if Alan lives near ancient woodland but it ticks all the other boxes.

Doug.October 13, 2014 at 11:13 am in reply to: Holy Island Foray 11th Oct 2014. Measurements so far… #1255DougParticipantJohn I have a very convincing looking C. rivulosa with faint concentric rings on the cap so i will enter that.
The grey specimen with the depressed centre I think you have it right as C. barbularum. Everything fits perfectly so I will enter that also.
A third white species that I also collected I think is C. candicans although I must admit I have only ever seen it in woodland.
Does your Clitocybe fragrans still hold good or is this No 3?
Cheers
Doug.DougParticipantThat must be the thickened ring like zone rather than a collar which is well illustrated in the attached photos. So G. pectinatum looks good to me.
DougParticipantJohn according to the Kew book unless it has a collar at the base of the globular structure it must be G. pectinatum. If it has a collar it should be G striatum
DougParticipantJohn I think Inocybe maculata. It is one of the commonest in our area and although maybe slightly pale everything else fits nicely!
Doug.DougParticipantI always find clamps tricky and like to see a definite overlap before I am happy with them. I think here the answer is in the spores E. sericeum has 5 angled spores and E lucidum 5-7 angled spores E. april has a stouter stem and occurs with shrubs and as the photo clearly shows 5 angled spores then E sericeum has my vote.
Doug.DougParticipantThanks Tom
very useful
