Filnore Fungi 4 - small toadstools

I already posted 'Filnore Fungi 5' so 4 and 5 are in the wrong order but it's immaterial - just confusing.

Small toadstools
It's hard to tell them all apart but Simon has identified them for us.

Grooved Bonnet (Mycena polygramma) viewed from underneath - one of the prettiest.  

Common Stump Brittlestem (Psathyrella piluliformis)  

The Deceiver (Laccaria laccata)  on the woodchip pile.  It gets fringey round the edge as it matures.  Called the deceiver because it changes colour and so can trick you.




Funeral Bell (Galerina marginata) - you may realise it is probably not one to fry up, judging from the name.  

In fact it contains amatoxins, also found in the notorious Death Cap (Amanita phalloides), which attack the liver if the mushroom is eaten.  Unfortunately it resembles several other edible  'LBMs' or 'little brown mushrooms'  but it is DEADLY.  

DO NOT EAT !
