2. Growing in grassy field. Only one. Cap 0.5cm, stem 3cm. No smell. Spores 5.5-7.5µ x 4.5-6µ.
5. Growing on mossy living(?) trunk of broad leaf tree. Several widely scattered. Cap 1-1.5mm, stem up to 4mm. Tiny, tiny, tiny! Spores 4.5-6µ x 3-4µ.

6th November 2020, Beckenham Place Park
4. Growing from the end of a fallen twig. One single mushroom. Cap 2cm. Stem 3.5cm. No smell. This looks like Hydropus floccipes but the spore shape is wrong. H. floccipes has spherical spores which these are not! Nothing else comes close to being being right, so could this be another Hydropus species which isn't in my books? Sporeprint White. Spores 7-9.5µ x 4-5.5µ.
8. Growing in leaf litter near oak trees. Small group. Cap up to 2.5cm. Slight sweet smell. This is a mystery. There are several white mushroom species that look like this but none of them have the spiny round spores of these. The main groups that have such spores are Brittlegill (Russula), Milkcap (Lactarius) and Deceiver (Laccaria). It's nothing like the first two but does have the general appearance of a Deceiver except that none of the Deceivers are white?? Sporeprint White. Spores 6.5-8.5µ x 5.5-8µ.

11th November 2019, Petts Wood and Hawkwood
Growing in leaf litter. Small group. Cap up to 3.5cm, stem up to 3cm. Slight sweet smell, perhaps putty like. Frustrated that I can't identify this! Sporeprint Pinkish pale tan. Spores 6.5-7.5µ x 4-5.5µ.

28th October 2019, Beckenham Place Park
1. Growing in grass around oak tree. Several scattered around. Cap 7cm. Cloying rich slightly unpleasant smell. Taste mild, no heat. Cap hardly peeling, less than 1/4. Sporeprint White. Spores 7-8µ x 6-7µ.
2. Growing in grass around oak tree. Several scattered around. Cap 6-9cm. Cut flesh smells of cheese, older one smells fishy. Taste becoming slowly hot. Sporeprint White. Spores 6.5-7.5µ x 5-6.5µ.
5. Growing in grassy field. Cluster of several and also scattered singly around. Cap 2.5-4.5cm. Sweet smell. Sporeprint White. Spores 7.5-9µ x 7-8.5µ.
8. Growing under sweet chestnut in debris and grass. A few small clusters. Cap 1.5-5cm, stem 3cm. Sweet somewhat sickly smell. Covered in white veil. I think these may be a type of Webcap (Cortinarius) due to the veil and because several have a sweet or fruity smell. However there are very many similar species so hard to identify. Sporeprint Reddish or pink. Spores 5-6.5µ x 3.5-5µ.

17th October 2019, Petts Wood and Hawkwood
Growing through grass in field. Several troops. Cap 2-5cm, stem up to 6cm. No smell. Struggling to identify this one. Sporeprint White. Spores 5.5-7.5µ x 4.5-5.5µ.

2nd November 2018, Beckenham Place Park
Growing on bare earth in grass in a small dip, could be buried wood there. Several clusters. Cap up to 3cm. Slight indistinct fungus smell. Tough stem. I can't see what this is. I saw something very similar a few years ago and couldn't identify it then either. Looks a bit like a Flammulaster or Powercap or Webcap but none of them fit well. Sporeprint Mid-brown. Spores 5-6.5µ x 3-5µ.

9th October 2018, Petts Wood and Hawkwood
1. Under hawthorn hedges, possibly growing from twigs? Several scattered around singly. Cap 3.5cm. Stem 5cm. Vegetabley smell? Tough stem. Sporeprint White. Spores 5.5-8µ x 4-5µ.
2. Growing in mixed woods, mainly oak. Several scattered around. Cap 3-9cm. Indistinct slight smell. Cap dome shaped then very flat. Striate when old. Sporeprint Whitish but not enough to be sure. Spores 7-9.5µ x 4.5-5.5µ.

10th November 2017, Cobham Park
4. Growing in earth amongst grass. Several scattered around. Cap up to 7mm across. No smell. I've given up trying to identify these as they all looked like young specimens which doesn't give enough information. Spores 9-10µ x 5.5-7.5µ.
14. Growing on earth in woodland clearing. Two or three. Cap 3.5cm-5cm. Stem up to 7cm. No smell. Cap has gold/brown tinge, stem has hint of blue. Despite its distinctive look, I just can't identify this. Could be a Pholiota or a Psilocybe but I can't get any of them to fit, even remotely. Sporeprint Terracota. Spores 5.5-8µ x 4-5.5µ.

10th October 2017, Joydens Wood
Growing beside rotting log, on soil/humus or maybe buried wood. Lots scattered in small area. Cap up to 1cm across, stem up to 3cm long. Faint smell, perhaps fungusy. Poor pictures as the mushrooms were in a dark place on a dark day under thick dark tree cover! I've given up on identification due to poor pictures and lack of distinctive features. Sporeprint Whitish but not enough to be sure. Spores 6.5-8µ x 5-6.5µ.

27th September 2017, Hayes Common
Growing in leaf litter near oak tree. Several scattered around. Cap 2-4cm, stem up to 3cm. Meally smell. I think this is a type of Woodwax but hard to say which one, especially as these are probably young specimens. Sporeprint White. Spores 5.5-6.5µ x 3.5-5µ.

15th September 2017, Knole Park, Sevenoaks
Growing on moss/grass not far from oak tree. Several groups. Cap 3-7cm. Stem 5cm. Smell faint and a bit mushroomy. Woolly foot seemingly attached to moss. I think this may be a type of Webcap but they're very hard to identify. Spores 10-13µ x 3-5.5µ.

11th November 2016, Hayes Common
Growing on rotting oak log. A few scattered singly. Cap 3-4cm. Little smell. Sporeprint Reddish brown. Spores 5.5-8µ x 4.5-6.5µ.

14th November 2015, Andrew’s Wood near Shoreham
4. Growing in grass in field. A few scattered widely. Cap 0.7-1.5cm, stem up to 6cm. No smell. It's very hard to identify these small brown mushrooms. Sporeprint black. Spores 11.5-14µ x 8-9µ.
7. Growing in grass near birch tree. One. 20cm wide. Smell of fruity earthy rubber! Very unusual to find a fan structure of this kind growing in the earth instead of on dead wood. Sporeprint whitish, but not enough to be sure. Spores 5-7.5µ x 4.5-6µ.
8. Growing in grass near birch tree. Several scattered around. Cap 3-7cm. Smell of unpleasant coconut, or funny cloying chemical or paint. Spores 6.5-8.5µ x 5.5-6.5µ.

24th October 2015, Ladywell Fields
In grass near small deciduous tree. One. Cap 1.5cm, stem 3cm. Not enough to smell - perhaps slightly mushroomy. Sporeprint white or tan - not enough to tell. Spores 5.5-6.5µ x 4-5µ.

14th October 2015, Hayes Common
8. Growing in grass/moss. One. Cap 5cm. No smell. Could be an immature specimen? Looks like a Knight (Tricholoma) but these all grow in woods, so not sure. Difficult with only one specimen. Sporeprint white. Spores 5.5-8µ x 4-5.5µ.
10. Growing in grass/moss. A few widely dispersed. Cap 0.4-1cm. No smell, but not big enough to smell properly. Very hard to identify small brown unremarkable mushrooms. Spores 8-9.5µ x 5-6.5µ.

2nd October 2015, Oaken Wood, Maidstone
2. Growing in sweet chestnut leaf litter. Two. Cap 1-1.5cm, stem 4-5cm. Pleasant mushroom smell.
5. Growing on damp mossy earth. A few in a group. Cap 2-5cm. No smell. Sporeprint tan brown but not enough to be sure. Spores 10-12µ x 5-7µ.
9. Growing in humus near pine tree. One and a cluster of two. Cap 3-4cm. No smell. This really looks like a Common Rustgill but the spores would then be warted and much bigger, unless I made a clerical error somehow. Sporeprint pale brown but not enough to be sure. Spores 6-7.5µ x 3-5µ.
19. Growing on mossy bank beside path. One. 2.5cm high. This is hard to identify since there was only one small specimen. Could be one of the Clubs. Perhaps Handsome Club but that is supposed to have a prominent beak on the spores which I can't see on my spores. Spores 7-8.5µ x 5.5-7µ.

25th September 2015, Oldbury Hill, Borough Green
2. Growing in in leaf litter under oak and beech. One. cap 9cm, 11cm high. No smell. Could be a Common Cavalier but doesn't look quite right. Sporeprint white. Spores 5.5-8µ x 4.5-6.5µ.
13. Growing in leaf litter near beech. Troop of about a dozen. Cap 5-9cm. No smell. Sporeprint brown with a hint of pink. Spores 7.5-9.5µ x 5-7µ.
14. Growing in marshy ground near deciduous trees and near old stump. Several clumps and scattered. Cap up to 7cm. No smell. Could be Cortinarius brunneus, but probably not as that is darker brown and less striate. Sporeprint brownish, not enough to be sure. Spores 6-8.5µ x 4-5.5µ.
15. Growing in marshy ground at the base of decidous tree. Many trooping and clustered. Cap up to 7cm, stem up to 10cm. Mushroomy smell. Sporeprint Pale amber brown. Spores 6.5-8.5µ x 4-6µ.
16. Growing on a steep earth bank. One. Cap 8cm. This is some poor boletus that has been attacked by mould. If the bent-over stem were straight it would be the tallest boletus I've ever found.

18th September 2015, Knole Park, Sevenoaks
5. Growing in mud amongst grass. One. Cap 3.5cm, stem 4cm. No smell. Sporeprint Brownish but not enough to properly determine. Spores 6-8µ x 4-6µ.
9. Growing in grass a fair distance away from sweet chestnuts. One. cap 3.5cm, stem 3cm. No smell. Could be a type of waxcap but difficult to tell when there's only one. Spores 5.5-7.5µ x 5-6.5µ.
10. Growing in grass. Several scattered in patch of ground about 2m across. Cap 1-1.5cm, stem 3cm. Faint mushroom smell. Could be a type of waxcap but cannot find one that fits. Sporeprint White. Spores 6.5-8.5µ x 5.5-8µ.
11. Growing amongst beech masts under beech tree. Two. Cap 3-4cm, stem 5cm. Unpleasant smell, perhaps of paint/chemical. Probably a type of fibrecap, as some of those smell of bleach, but fibrillous cap with smooth stem is an unusual combination. Sporeprint brownish. not enough to be sure. Spores 5.5-8µ x 5-7µ.
12. Growing amongst beech masts under beech tree. Several scattered around. Cap 1.5-2cm, stem 2-3cm. No smell. Prominent umbo, tough stem. Sporeprint brownish, not enough to be sure. Spores 7-8.5µ x 4.5-6µ.

6th September 2015, Ladywell Fields
Growing in long grass near oak tree. Group of four. Cap 2.5-3cm, stem 5-6cm. No smell, but perhaps slightly fruity. Honey coloured. Really don't know what this is. Feels like a Mycena and the spores are right for that but there aren't any that fit. Sporeprint white. Spores 4.5-6µ x 3-4.5µ.

29th August 2015, Brooklands Pleasure Grounds, Lancing
Growing on earth/wood debris amongst grass. Growing in troop and sometimes clustered. Cap 1-6cm. Short stem 1-2cm. Smell mushroomy, slightly sweet, almond. Rim inrolled on small caps, small slightly yellow coloured umbo, brown flecks on some stems. Can’t be a Clitopilus (spore print pink) and either doesn’t look like, or doesn’t have the right habitat for, any of the Clitocybes. Sporeprint white.

27th November 2014, Ladywell Fields
2. Growing in grass beside tree (maybe aspen). Two together. Cap 2-4cm. Stem 4cm. Faint mushroom smell. Small one has white rim on cap. Though this was a Blushing Waxcap but can't be as spore print would have to be white. Sporeprint What I call cinnamon brown, but possibly pink. Spores 5.5-9µ x 3.5-5.5µ.
3. Growing on earth or woodchip near aspen. Several trooping. Cap 2-4cm. Faint smell. One with a flattened stem. Sporeprint very pale tan, flesh colour but with no red. Spores 5.5-7µ x 3.5-5.5µ.
6. Growing in grass amonst leaf litter. One small cluster. Cap up to 5cm across. No smell. When drying became gossamer-like rather than deliquescing. Not sure if this is a Common Inkcap or not. Growing beside some common inkcaps but brown rather than grey, and spore print is definite dark grey with no hint of brown, unlike the Common Inkcap. Sporeprint very dark grey. Spores 6.5-9µ x 5-7µ.
8. Growing in grass near sycamores. One large beside one tiny. Cap 9cm. Stem 6 x 3.3cm. Smell perfumed. Another blewit-like mushroom, but a bit different to the others. Sporeprint White. Spores 4.5-6.5µ x 3-4.5µ.

20th November 2014, Ladywell Fields
Growing from cracks in ash tree stump. Very faint smell. White translucent jelly-like blobs.

14th November 2014, Knole Park, Sevenoaks
Growing on dead beech log. Lots dotted around. Beads about 1mm. Initially thought this was young Candlesnuff but that's unlikely. Could be something similar to Oak Pin but these always have a small stalk and I didn't see any stalks.

8th November 2014, Ladywell Fields
Growing on ash tree wood debris. A few scattered around. Cap 1-4cm. No smell. Wet cap as photographed after a shower. Sporeprint very dark or black. Spores 9.5-10.5µ x 5.5-7.5µ.

9. Growing on stump. Fungusy smell.
11. Growing on stump. One large and a cluster of very small immature. Large specimen: Cap 2cm. Stem 8cm. The single specimen could be the same species as the cluster but might not be. Sporeprint white.

28th September 2014, Wepham Wood near Angmering
Growing in mixed oak/beech wood. One. cap 4.5cm. Faint smell. Looks a bit like a Deceiver to me, but I've never seen one this big before. Could it be Bicoloured Deceiver? Sporeprint Pale but not enough to really say. Spores 6.5-8µ x 5-7µ.

12th September 2014, Knole Park, Sevenoaks
2. Growing inside old stump. one. Yellow lump - presumably immature. Surface very sticky to touch.

3rd September 2014, My Garden in Catford
Growing in long grass beside log sleeper. Troop of about 10. No smell. Fragile stem and cap. Bulb at base of stem. Looks like spring fieldcap, but spore size is completely wrong. Sporeprint dark, maybe black, but not enough to be sure. Spores 5.5-7µ x 4-5.5µ.

1st September 2014, Ladywell Fields
1. Growing in grass beside path near site of ash tree (I think) that was cut down several months ago. Group of 3 or 4. Cap 3-4cm. Faint mushroom smell. Sporeprint very dark brown. Spores 7-9µ x 5-6.5µ.

30th August 2014, Ladywell Fields
1. Growing under sycamore. Cluster of about 8. Immature cap 2-5cm. Plesant mushroom/almond smell. Flesh bruising somewhat red. Looks exacly like another find under a sycamore in different part of the park but spores are a different size. Spores 4.5-6µ x 4-5µ.
3. In grass near oak. Only a few. Cap 3.5cm, 5-7cm tall. Similar to find 2, might be the same, might not. Sporeprint black. Spores 11.5-15.5µ x 6-8µ.
4. In earth/grass under oak. Two. Cap 4-6cm. Smell indistinct. Soft flesh bruising red at stem base and top of cap. Initially thought this might be Red Cracking Bolete, but that doesn't grow under oak. Spores 9.5-10.5µ x 4.5-5.5µ.
8. Brackets on side and bottom of log. Up to 10cm across. Mild fungus smell. Sporeprint whitish but not enough to be specific.

12. Growing in grass not near any tree. Two together and one further away. Cap 3-4cm. No smell. Can't be a fibrecap because it's not near any tree, but perhaps a type of conecap? Sporeprint tan or dark cream but not enough to be specific. Spores 7.5-9µ x 5.5-7µ.

17th August 2014, Ladywell Fields
Growing on sides of ash stump. Up to 60cm across. Mushroomy smell. Large lumpy patches. Tough flesh.

25th April 2014, Woods and Fields in Cobham Park

15. 12cm. A very old ugly thing.

31st October 2013, Blarney Castle, Ireland
Growing in grass near what look like small lime trees. Cap 4-8cm. Rather meally/decaying smell. Actually not sure that the bigger whiter specimen is the same as the smaller ones.

27th October 2013, Farran Forest Park, Ireland
3. Growing in a hedge bank. Cap 4-6cm. Really not sure about this one. Could be a Fibrecap (Inocybe) except it’s too big and they don’t generally have white gills. So more likely it’s a Lepiota but it doesn’t seem to fit with any of those either.
4. Growing on pine needles. Cap 3-4cm. Smell sweet and mushroomy. This will be a struggle to identify.
5. Growing on pine needles. Cap 3-4cm. Smell slight.
12. Growing in grass near a holly tree. Cap 5cm.
14. Growing on pine needles. Lump 10cm. Very little smell. The mycelia seem to be growing on the needles and not associated with the tree itself, as it could easily be picked up with the needles attached. Can’t find anything like it in my books.

27th October 2013, Blarney Castle, Ireland
On earth or wood/bark mulch. Cap 4-6cm.

21st October 2013, My Garden

8. Growing under birch. Cap 2cm. White cap.
13. Growing under hawthorn. Cap 2cm. Smell slightly sweet and perhaps a little aniseedy. Strange double-headed cap. Won’t be able to identify this as there were only two very young ones.
23. Cap 7cm.

4th October 2013, Woods and Fields in Cobham Park
2. Cap 10cm. Buggy smell.
7. Growing on dead trunk. Smell sickly and faint. Breaks easily.

12. ‘Inkcap’ type? Growing on earth/grass in bracken.
14. Growing in grass. Cap 15cm. Not much smell. Dark tan. Reddish spore print?
15. Growing in grass in large groups. Cap 2-5cm. Not much smell.
16. Growing in big clumps on earth in grass. Cap 1-2.5cm. Fruity smell.
20. Under hornbeam. Cap 2-3cm. Smell nutty? Yellowish cap.
23.

27th September 2013, Farningham Wood near Swanley
1. Tiny on stump. Cap 1cm. Difficult to identify as I only saw young ones. Could be young Sulphur Tuft but I don’t think so. Maybe Pholiota astragalina but this is unlikely.
2. Growing on bare earth under beech. Cap 1-3cm. Smell mushroomy.
10. Growing on huge sweet-chestnut tree. Medium 3cm and small/tiny jelly-like fruiting bodies.

11. Growing in a meadow.
17. Growing under yew tree.
18. Growing on dead yew tree. About 20cm across. Should be easy to identify (when I have time) as the underside was furry.
25. There were lots of these large grey/black mushrooms but they were all too old and decrepit for easy identification.
