What shrooms are these?

[Anicho]

Hi,

went out walking today to see what's around. Came across a couple of patches of which these looked the most interesting. Any idea what they are? First one is 1 sort and rest are another...

2 and 3 look similar to what I found the other day (some pictures here: http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32262) and it was found to possibly be Marasmius Oreades but don't take my word for it because I'm no expert on mushroom identification but any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks.. they do look very similar, though mine go brown towards the edge.. also they where growing on tree trunks if that helps.. I'll post some more pics too.

#1 Looks like Dermocybe austroveneta

The rest remind me of Armilllaria sp.

Thanks tonic,

Armillaria mellea by the looks of it.. it was growing on the bottom of trees..

Yeah. Armillaria sp. tend to like growing in clumps (ceaspitose) on dead stumps or dead wood on trees.

With the first ones, were the caps quite green? Also was the stem a yellow colour? If so, they are definitely D. austroveneta.

Stem was yellow / white yes and green caps with some yellow. They where quiet tattered.. oh well.. have to keep hunting for more exciting specimens form the world of shrooms
