    I think your first one is one of the bonnet ones, mycena family and looking it up it could be the drab bonnet but that one is only an occasional one in the UK. Perhaps someone could id it properly please?

    Your Yorkshire pud one looks like decaying honey fungus but I'm not sure. Again positive id would be good.

    A rough guess for the first one is Mycena abramsii, these are common and tend to occur as singletons rather than clumps like other bonnets. Check to see if the stem is hairy at the bottom.
    Second one is a bit too far gone to ID.
  • Thanks, yes the brown one is in a bit of a mess.

    Psilocybin mushrooms?

    Possibly, they may be Liberty Caps. Examine the full length of the stem which is likely to be curved.

    The liberty cap?  Possibly but I've never seen one in the flesh so to speak, just pictures.

    Around 25 or so of them should give you an interesting experience.  :)

    Wow!! thank you @Uff!! I am going to start writing their names down in my garden log. Really appreciate your help 😊

    I am really chuffed at reading this bit from your link:
    If you have a lawn and you don't smother it in weedkillers and fertilisers, this is one of the little mushrooms that you are likely to see there in summer and autumn.

    Yes I heard about those when I was a barefoot hippy Balgay.Hill B)
    To be truthful though, I only went barefoot for a couple of hours because it hurt my feet.
