Can someone identify these please... especially the odd purple one!
    #21942420 - 07/14/15 03:08 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hi,

I took some photos of assorted fungi today and I wonder if anyone can tell me what they are.

Location: NE England

Species 1 (I think Phallus impudicus)
Habitat: Coniferous woodland growing out of pine needles.
Cap: Slimy, olive brown colour, abount 4cm diameter.
Odour: I didn't notice an odour, which is worrying :-)
Spores: Sticky
Stem: 15cm, hollow and porous, base growing out of an egg.



Species 2
Habitat: Coniferous woods, growing on a felled tree trunk.
I can't really describe this in mushroom terms. It was slimy and purple, about 4x2cm and I didn't notice a smell.



Species 3
Habitat: Coniferous woodland growing out of pine needles.
Cap: Brown tan, almost ginger, about 8cm diameter, hygrophanous.
Stem: Light brown, slighty yellow flesh
Gills: Porous



I left them all in situ, so have no more details. There was a less mature example of what I am reasonably certain was species 3, so I have included the photo with the full size mushroom

Cheers, T

PS. Sorry, edited as failed with initial photo upload!

We'll need pictures. I take it that the ones in your gallery are from your previous request, they look like Panaeolus papilionaceus.

First one looks indeed like a Phallus sp.

Second one it would help with more mature specimens. Cortinarius sp.? :shrug:

Third is perhaps a Chalciporus sp.

Cortinarius?!  Are we looking at the thing?  It looks like a strange gooey purple blob to me, maybe a slime mold?

Thanks,

I don't think the purple fungus was a mushroom. There were others, this one looked the most mature. I also saw what I thought was the same thing on the path, a few metres away. Those on the path were darker and flatter, but still purple.

holy shit did you go to an alien planet and take these pics? those are some of the weirdest mushrooms i've seen posted here. I can be of no help in terms of identification but they look cool i must say.

the purple one literally looks like someone was eating purple icecream in the forest and dropped some of it.

Ah, the stinkhorn (Phallus sp.)! Once you find your first, you never forget them. Strange that you didn't notice the odor, because they usually reek to high heaven. They usually rely on that odor to attract flies, which spread their slimy spores on their wings. That stuff on the top that looks like poop? Yeah, that's the mushroom literally mimicking poop with its spore mass.

I'm not positive if the pictures in Species 3 are the same species or not. The one on the left looks a little different pore-wise. Could just be because it's younger.

Took them myself, in the North of England, not far from the Scottish border. I've only been developing an interest for a week and have already seen loads of species and I am told it isn't the best time of year, so am quite looking forward to the autumn :-)

I have never seen anything like the purple thing before, and my first thought was Futurama, although it has just ocurred to me that I think this is what unicorn poo looks like! ;-)

Yeah, I'd read that, hence being worried!

It was definitelty younger and it was growing about 40cm beneath the larger one lower down a steep bank on the forest floor.
