Hello again, Today I came upon the following mushrooms. They were all found within 20 meters from each other inside a pine forest. None was bruising but as I've learned this does not mean much.
type #1 [image] [/image] [image] [/image]
Their main characteristic is the purple color. Lighter on the stem and darker on the cap. Gills are very light purple also.
type #2 [image] [/image]
small mushrooms found in clusters. greyish-brown caps and stem, white gills.
type#3 Like the previous shrooms only these have greenish stems. Greenish/yellowish cap and these are kind of sticky when u touch them.
type #4 [image] [/image] [image] [/image]
their characteristic is the "wet" cap. The cap looks wet and is very shiny. It feels wet to the touch even though it doesnt make ur fingers wet. Long white stems, 2 shades of brown for the cap. Very firm and sturdy.
I found more but if any are active I bet its one of these 4. Thank you!

#1 Reminds me of an Entoloma for some reason. Kind of a wild guess, but if the spore print is pink or salmon then it probably is. Not an edible or active.
#2 Looks like Mycenas, these aren't active or edible.
#3 Could be some kind of Hygrophorus (or Hygrocybe). You said they were sticky, was it a very slippery sort of sticky? Another thought would be Leptonia incana (a yellow mushroom that can bruise teal/blue/green on the stem) but if this is the case the spore print would be pinkish. What is the odor like? It may be even a strange colored Mycena.
#4 Looks interesting. I can think of some possibilities but I'd like to see the gills and hear more about this mushroom. I'd suggest that you spore print it.
Try and print them all if you picked them. I'm pretty sure # 2 would print white though.
I don't think you have any actives in there from what I can tell so far.

Yeah, I agree that none of those are active in your collection, and none seem to be edible as well.
By the sound of your post, you are looking for active mushrooms.
In which case you'll need to be looking in disturbed areas, along roads, and in mulch beds with hardwood chips to find cyanescens. This being only if you are in the PNW region.

I can take better closeups but I have never tried taking a spore print
#3 Its a very slippery sort of stickiness, yes. I cant pick a smell, other than an fresh-earth smell.
#4 There is a definite dampness on the cap of this mushroom, a good 8 hours after I picked it. If I handle it alot some moisture transfers on the fingers but evaporates and leaves no trace. Its very slimy to the touch. Very fibery and white stem.
May i show some more?
Type# 5
the color Orange defines this mushroom. similar to purple#1 this is orange (picture shows it brown but that is orange)
type #6  a rather small cluster.
there are a few random ones, to be shown soon

I'm in south europe and around here in the "disturbed areas" grow only cactus. I need to get up a mountain and in a forest for shrooms. I found these however near and around a summer-farm which is shut down now for the winter. Yes, actives is the goal here. I have heard that the mountain i am using grows a local variety of a popular shroom family but there r no mycologists in sight.

Oh wow, I was way off PNW = Pacific North West, USA.
Where abouts in Southern Europe? Spain? Italy?
Depending on your climate, you will have different options. Unfortuently I am not too familiar with the climates over there, depending on the latitudes and whatnot.
