Thanks Bubble. I've just Googled that and yes it does... I see it's also known as Herald of Winter. Nice.

Found these 2 little chaps in the front garden this morning. Any ideas?

I feel like I should know but I can't find anything very like them.

There are a LOT of fungi around in Ipswich at the moment. Had a look at a clump of Boletes sp. under a small Birch earlier on and there in a small gully was a big, perfect Fly Agaric. I always like seeing them as they seem the archetypal toadstool that a pixie might live under!

These next bluey-browny ones grow underneath a Scots Pine. They're about 2" tall, caps 1½" in dia:

These are teensy weensy and grow right beside the bluey ones. I tried picking one up to photograph it on its side but it disintegrated in my fingers. They're quite delicate. Pretty though.

Next are these, growing alongside Alders and Willows, in the leaf litter. Caps are 2½" - 3" in dia, one or two slightly larger than that.

Wherry's 10:13 pm posting is perhaps Lepiota mastoidea?

Almost done. Now these were a lovely surprise to find - loads of them growing in amongst the nettle patch beside a hedge of Hawthorn and Blackthorn. They're quite large, average size of caps being 5", some of the larger ones measured just over 6", firm and quite solid.

And finally:









The yellow colouring seems to fade out to white along the edges of the cap. They stand about 2" tall, growing in grass. The cap has a slimy quality to the touch.

That's it, I'm done. I am mushroomed out. All of these are growing in my garden. No sign this year of the slime mould I posted a couple (?) of years ago.

Thanks to all who have helped so far. I have made note of the names. Thank you!
