Can someone ID this fungus please

  • #1 could be Coprinus comatus (aka lawyer's wig, shaggy ink cap), I think.


    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • 3 could be either the Scarlet or the Crimson Waxcap ... but I’m not sure ... can we see the stem and underneath? 

    Maybe @Ante30 can help?

    Good evening all.
    You done all the job before me😁👍.
    First photo almost certain very young Shaggy Ink cap (Coprinus comatus.
    Second photo very old Honey fungus.
    Third photo, Scarlet Waxcap. @Dovefromabovesolved it.

    Next time it will be easier to identify if you write size of mushroom and if it's possible take photo of steam and gills.

  • Ooh I’m chuffed ... it’s ages since I went on a fungus foray and saw my first Scarlet Waxcaps. They are simply gorgeous 😃 

    Thanks @Ante30 🙏

    Scarlet waxcap is edible but highly endangered and strictly forbidden to collect. 
    I agree with you @Dovefromabove.  Beautiful mushroom.

    Here is one beautiful site about them.
