I went hunting out at my usual Blewit (Clitocybe Nuda) spot, and had a fairly eventful day! Thought I may share some finds and hope to get some positive ID's in the process...
 I wish I could've taken more habitat/landscape shots but alas my battery was low and wanted to save the charge for shroom pics 
 Man was it a nice day for a walk in the woods!
 1. Coprinellus sp. ? leaning towards Coprinellus micaceus. (note the cortinarius-like mushroom creeping in on the left, as well as a small Armillaria fruit mixed in the center of the cluster if you look close enough)
 2. Fresh cluster! These are all over the place on this path I walk. Its pretty interesting, The blewits I go for are out on these old snow mobiling trails that local rich folk ride their horses. they also dump and drag their horses stall shavings with a tractor all down the trails, which I think really promotes the growth of a lot of the fungi but almost particularly with the blewits...
 3.
 4. old gymnopolis sp. ?
 5.
 6. Hypsizygus sp.? I'm thinking H. Ulmarius - I've never seen either of these before but it smelled very good and from what I could tell the host tree was an Elm. Spore printing that now.
 7. ??
 8. Armillaria sp. I took note of these popping up right in the middle of the path
 9. Suillus granulatus cluster next to the Armillaria above, most likely smooshed by people riding horses as I am too careful to do such a thing 
 10. Hypholoma sp. ? I think its sublateritium. These awesome clusters are everywhere! someone clears out these woods and theres stacks of hardwood / conifer logs everywhere. theres so much hypholoma and Armillaria sprouting everwhere even in the middle of the path!
 11. A more mature cluster.
 12. had to get that big guy in there!
 13. ??
 14. Gut feeling told me clitocybe? It looks like a blewit cousin, and at that point on the path I was very close to the blewits themselves.
 15. Clitocybe Nuda!
 16. here you can really see them loving that horse manure!
 17. Clean the bugs off the fresh ones and they're good to go!
 18. Massive Clitocybe Nuda. A great example of just how big they can get - just the blade is 5 inches, the caps easily bigger than my hand.
 19. Cortinarius sp.? A good example of a blewit lookalike I found nearby. Pretty sure its a deadly cort. A good reminder to always be very careful when hunting blewits and most wild foraged mushrooms in general!
 20. a late Craterellus sp. I had never seen such a thing so late in the year.
 21. hydnum repandum, these little guys were everywhere! unfortunately this is when my phone died. very soon after that I came upon a massive fruiting of hedgehogs like I've never seen. 6-8 massive hedgehogs caps all bigger than my hand! unfortunately they were too buggy for my liking so I took one home to take pictures of, along with a few other things I will be uploading soon

3 and 4 look like Pholiota.
19 is definitely a Cortinarius, good job weeding these guys out from your Blewits.
Thanks for sharing!
