A couple of weeks ago alongside the cycle-track at Horeb, there was also this group of what looked like Russet Shanks (Gymnopus dryophilus). However according to Philip's copy of Funga Nordica, (which I really must return to him!), due to it being still spring and with a bulbous base to the stem, it is perhaps more likely to be g. aquosus.

The hygrocybe seems fine for H acutoconica --- the spores are OK (Boertmann).
ReplyDeleteThe Gymnopus (Collybia) is more difficult I think ---- possibly need to know what cystidia shape/size is like.
