I decided to go out to a wood today which I'd never been to before. I found a few more mushrooms which I can't ID from the book I recently bought as the photos don't seem to show the true colours very well, I have now just ordered another one which I hope will have better pics!


These bright orange ones are growing in small random groups between the trees which are mostly sweet chestnut with some oaks mixed in.





There are loads of these largish cream coloured ones which are a darker shade in the middle of the cap. These are also growing in small groups at random.





These little dark brown chestnut-like ones were growing on a tree stump.

Surprised no one has answered this!

Top one... Common funnel cap?

Middle one... Clitocybe of some sort.

Bottom one... Don't recognise it.

Anyone else?

Thanks for your help Cab.
The first one is rather confusing as it seems to have three different names from pics I've found on the internet.

Clitocybe Gibba, C. Flaccida and C. Inversa.

I agree with Cab, but I don't recognise the last one either - any idea what variety the tree stump was?
