These are from the past few days, some from the park some from my garden. I tried to ID them with a book but i am a total newbie at this. ------------------------------------------ Hygrophorus Psittacinus - in my garden.
--
-- the above were only a few feet away from where Hygrophorus Conicus grow.
--
Scleroderma Citrinum - this is the closest i could get. what do you think?
--
Laccaria Laccata - i'm not sure what this is and i thought it was Laccaria Laccata but now i'm not so sure. growing under some small trees in the dirt by a wood path in the park,
--
--
--
--
Panaeolus Foenisecii - found about a month ago in the park on the side of a path. i think i got the ID right.

The one you found in the park appears to ba an amanita of some sort, dont eat it they can cause a painful death. That's just my two cents man.

Nice photos.
Hygrophorus psittacinus looks right. I don't know of another mushroom that looks that that when they're young and green and is slimy all over like that one looks.
Hygrophorus conicus could be right - did you verify the black staining? There are a ton of red, conical Hygrocybes.
Scleroderma citrinum, maybe. Did you cut it in half to verify the thick, rind-like skin?
Laccaria laccata, nope. That's a Russula, similar to Russula decolorans. To identify Russulas accurately requires a microscope, so that species guess is just to give you a species similar to your specimen you can look up. An easy way to check for Russulas is to break the stem - it will snap like chalk, not like most mushrooms do. BTW, Laccarias almost always have relatively few gills with a distinct purplish/pinkish color (at least when young), and the stems are not white.
Panaeolus foenisecii, maybe. Certainly they do look like that, and the habitat looks right. A spore print would be extremely valuable for this ID.
Good to see somebody trying to ID their finds. Keep trying, you'll get lots better with practice.
-------------------- Happy mushrooming!

cheers to all who replied and whatnot.
toxicman thanks. H.Conicus does go black with age. i have lots in my garden. I've probably collected 30 or so in the last month. S.Citrinum. i didn't collect that mushroom and i''ve only just found the picture i took. doh! Russula ** - yep. i've looked in my pocket guide and i'm sure its one of those now. i have just broken the stem and inside is like foam, white in colour. P.Foenisecii - i will look for more and definately get a spore print next time. i did collect one a month or so ago but i dont remember taking a spore print.
Mr. Mushrooms thanks! i'll be sure to give some more accurate descriptions next time. i also make sure i take a photo of the surrounding habitat when i have my camera with me.
I love H. Psittacinus too! ever since i found H.Conicus in my garden and saw H. Psittacinus on the same page in the book i've always wanted to find one. i love the stem colour transition from green to orange.
i found it mowing the lawn, it nearly got chopped up! in the pic below you can see a v.young mushroom as well. totally orange and nearly translucent!
