Oldbury Hill

Sulphur Knight. Tricholoma sulphureum. Certainly smelt horrible and was very yellow!





False Death Cap, Amanita citrina, no images this time.


The Blusher, Amanita rubescens perhaps





Oak Milkcap, Lactarius chrysorrheus - I think!



Beech Milkcap, Lactarius blennius. Slimy when wet and quite unprepossessing. Cap pale olive to greenish grey, occasionally tinged pink, soon depressed in centre, typically blotchy. Light grey or cap-coloured stem. Copious milk that dries grey. Usually with Beech, sometimes Oak, usually on acid soil. 



The Common Rustgill again attached to a small twig, Gymnopilus penetrans.




Amethyst Deceiver, Laccaria amesthystina, in good colour and in good numbers.



Possibly The Sickener, Russula emetica, at least a Russula



Shaggy Scalycap, Pholiota squarrosa. Colourful!




The Floury Brittlegill, Russula farinepes perhaps, but seems unlikely as relatively rare and on high pH soil. Possibly the Ochre Brittlegill, Russula ochraleuca, but farinepes has been found on this site in the past.




Deer Shield, Pluteus cervinus. The colour of this species is very variable, but seems recognizable with experience.




Buttercap, Rhodocollybia butyracea. 





Brown Rollrim, Paxillus involutus, the most likely candidate.



Blushing Bracket, Daedaleopsis confragosa, in a fairly typical view Blushed well on the underside.



Sulphur Tuft, Hypholoma fasciculare. No images. Several patches present


Stocking Webcap, Cortinarius torvus. One of the easier Cortinarius to be identified! Greyish brown cap with lighter radial fibres. Gills start off a little violet until they get covered with the rusty brown spores.  Stipe slightly violet above the whitish stocking
