   1. Definitely a Russula
   2. How about Laetioporus sulphureus ‘chicken of the woods’ – I’m assuming it had pores and not gills
   3. Hygrocybe but like the Russula – which species?

   The first appears to be a Russula, though the single photo doesn’t allow me to say that with absolute confidence. The second is Bondarzewia berkeleyi (Berkeley’s Polypore)*; the third, without seeing the gills closely, I cannot identify to genus, but I can say it is neither a Hygrocybe nor a Mycena. Xeromphalina is a strong possibility.

      Fabulous! Thank you.

      Do you have any recommendations about good guides to the fungi of the SE (most of the ones on the market are NE oriented)?
