The three funnel-shaped ones in the middle pic appear to be Hygrophorus camarophyllus. They should have brittle flesh, and not much scent. They're supposed to be good to eat, but I haven't come across it. I'm not sure about the flat-capped one; I need to see the underside of the cap.

Hello Robert,
                    Thanks for your reply, I asked the same question on the wild about britain web site & on their fungi forum was advised that the picture with 3 in were Clitocybe geotropa  & the single one was  Clitocybe nebularis,
It just goes to show how difficult fungus ID is  ::)

and i reckon the flat capped one is a fly agaric, a bit dried out, but an amantia none the less
You couldn't make it up!

I think the right-hand one is a cloudy agaric. (Fly agarics are the red-spotted ones they always draw in kid's books.) Not poisonous, but fairly inedible.

Come to that, I wouldn't eat any of them....

(But I did find some very nice bluitts the other day.)

What colour are the tops? I thought they were dark, hence the identification, but on second thoughts it could just be shadow.

Hello Robert,
                     The tops are pale, the same as the stems, they do look dark in the picture, as you say it`s shadow.

The single one could pass for a death cap.
