Help with a few IDs
    #22284324 - 09/24/15 02:48 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hello all!

I've recently started taking more of an interest in identifying mushrooms, so I'm making a habit of trying my luck with some of the more interesting-looking specimens I come across. I went for a stroll today in a meadow/pasture area in Denmark today and found a few that I'd like a bit of help with. I wasn't out for mushrooms in particular, so I'm afraid I didn't take very extensive notes nor any spore prints. Won't make the same mistake again.

Also, excuse the pictures. I don't have a camera for these things, so the smart phone is all that's available.

Species 1




Found this growing in a grassy patch by the path, not quite in the meadow itself, and not where any livestock is likely to have grazed. The colour here is slightly distorted, I think, and I found both the gills and the stem to be slightly yellower than they appear here. The stem had a distinct fibrous and "twisted" appearance to it, which perhaps does not come through in the pictures all that well either.

I figure this might be a hygrocybe sp. (?), and if I were to hazard a guess at species acutoconica is the best I can do. My Danish field guide informs me list this species as uncommon, though, so that's probably a bad guess.

Species 2




This was found in the meadow area itself, in an area obviously grazed by cows. There was rotting wood embedded in the grass gathered around where I found this growing, and it appeared the mushrooms were growing off of it. Quite a scaly cap, colour again perhaps slightly subdued by the poor quality of the image.

Don't really have any idea what this is. When I picked it up I thought it might be hypholoma sp., but that doesn't seem right.

Species 3


Sorry, just a single image of this one. Grew on a grassy patch inside the meadow, again somewhere cows have access to, but not obviously on dung. Didn't think too much of it when I passed it. I can only find mention of a single violet coral mushroom, clavaria zollingeri, but that is supposed to be very rare around these parts. As far as I can gather, though, to the extent that it does grow here, it grows on old meadows, which does seem to fit the bill. Still, though, this flies in the face of a rule my dad (he's an ornithologist) taught my for when it comes to identifying species in a field where you're just starting out: if you think you found something that's supposed to be rare, you're probably mistaken. What else might it be?

To the extent that the poor pictures and cursory descriptions allow, I'd love to get some help with these!

I'd say Hygrocybe for #1, and Gymnopilus for #2

I agree with Hygrocybe and Gymnopilus.
How about Alloclavaria purpurea for #3?

I do believe you are right about #3
