    Just noticed another young one coming through. Do the common bonnet come through as this colour steephill?

    The colour is variable which makes it hard to ID mycena. Another possibility is Clustered Bonnet (A.K.A. Oak Bonnet) Mycena inclinata, the stem darkening towards the base looks similar. Perhaps @Skandi or @Ante1 could help?

    This hobby can be a little frustrating at times. Clearly this one is growing under a bonsai oak that is healthy and not showing any signs of stress but because fungi go through different stages that mimic others sometimes they can be difficult to id.

    Is it slimy to the touch? It's one of those I classify as a little brown job.

    It's wet from the rain. When I noticed it the other day I touched it to try and see the gills and it didn't feel slimy. They both started out being the size of a small pea.

    Just putting my home made compost  o:) on the garden and found this in it, below. It had mycelium attached to the bottom so I've planted in an appropriate spot. 
    I feel 99% sure that it's an amethyst deceiver but it's a little larger than the ones I know of. Can someone confirm please?

    The cap doesn't look quite right (umbonate) for Amethyst Deceiver so it might be Lilac Fibrecap (Inocybe geophylla var. lilacina).
