Don't know if it is the exceptionally wet weather we have had but am getting a different range of fungi than usual. Apart that is for the Chantrelles far more than usual. Under the beech trees used to be Cracked Boletus, this year vertually taking over the ground is Beech Milkcap Lactarius blennius

On the banks and some on the lawn are Beech Sickner Rullual Nobilis, somehow think these the a favourite of the slugs very few remain uneaten

Mainly around the feeders and for some reason in the gravel around the sheds are Red Cracking Boletus Boletus chrysenteron

And some I don't know - This is a Milkcap also, smells mushroomy, but I don't know which one, I have a cap on paper waiting to see what colour the spores are -

Wondered if these were some sort of Sulpher Turf, Though growing on and in a rotting tree trunk, it is also across the grass where it seems to have come up as individuals -

These are growing amid the moss, have gills are very slimy to touch and cannot get a spore print gills almost seem covered with a gel -

Unfortunately I cannot actually reach these in order to see underside or get cap to do a spore print, (on other side of fence to stop anyone falling down steep slope) but any ID would help
