Spotting

:-) perfect simbiosys

The mushrooms have all been killed off by frost in my part of the world so I have to feed my hobby by working to identify other people's finds.

You are a great source of fungal photos António, so thank you for keeping me occupied my friend!

Gully you are great friend,thanks so much for the detailed info you give us,great work,thanks very much

Inocybe was one of my first thoughts too. It's got that classic umbonate cap shape of Inocybes that I love. The gills are looking a bit dark for an Inocybe though and as rat pointed out the cap isn't fibrous enough. Hygrocybes often share this shape too, but the texture doesn't look right. So do Entolomas , but I don't know of any with such deep chestnut reddish-brown colouration (what makes this mushroom really striking).

So... I'm pretty sure it's a Cortinarius ('Webcap') species. C. illuminus looks like a good candidate, or maybe it's look-alike C. armeniacus?

By the way, is it just me or do I note a hint of purple in the stipe? This lead me to look at C. stillatitius ('Purple Stocking Webcap'), C. collinitus and even C. vanduzerensis but I wasn't convinced by any of them.

Well anyway, Cortinarius is the largest genus of mushroom around at the moment so an exhaust search isn't realistic. And maybe I'm just on completely the wrong track! Whatever it is - I like it :-)

thanks Rat.tumour aka lipase,it's similar,i'am checking images of several species,but until now i've not find a mach :-),thanks one more time

Maybe it's an Inocybe (fibre cap)? Some photos of I. jurana look similar-ish but they seem to have more fibrous caps than yours http://lh6.ggpht.com/-u41hM-tOvIY/TJISGD...

thanks Argy for the coment and the tip,the size you can see it compared with my hand in the pic#5
there where more 2 in a less developd stage
they where growing from the soil

I like this one... How was the size? Was it only one? Growing from soil or maybe some buried wood? I have no luck with this one which looks similar... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/140...

thanks Vlad :-)

By the shape looks like some sort of Hygrocybe sp., but I don't know any that has this color. It can be also a Laccaria sp.
