I wonder if anyone could possibly identify this mushroom I found last year. Approx. 3 cm diameter, found growing from moss in mixed predominantly deciduous woodland. It is possible that it was growing wood under the moss. The gills are very distinctive and unlike any I have seen before.

By coincidence I have just posted similar fungi for ID ( same growing conditions) and they have come up with either a Lactarius or Armillaria spp. both similar looking.

Thanks Nelly I'll take a look at those species. I have a book on Milkcaps which might help.

Definitely not Lactarius. First thing anyone needs to know is the spore colour. Did you do a spore print? Judging by the gills the spores may be pink (but could be white or brownish!). If the spores are pink then it may well be an Entoloma (spores of this Genus are angular).

No, I didn't take a spore print. However, I've just found another mushroom with remarkably similar gills to this one. I now believe what I have here is a Tubaria furfuracea or a Tubarua conspersa. Thanks for your replies NellyDee and ruadh.

The images that are posted here are not a Tubaria sp. With the two species you name the colours are more reddish-brown (cream when dry) and the gills are more broadly attached (broadly adnate). There should also be the remains of the veil on the cap margin (especially with conspersa).
