Identification and resources
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 3:43 pm
Hello!
I recently moved to a different country, 55N and visited a few woods. So many mushrooms!
I don't have any mycology background or any mushroom picking knowledge. So I'd love your help to ID these two mushrooms.
Mushroom 1:

Mushroom2:

Gills for the first:

Gills from the second:

I thought it was the same specie because they both bruise to a brown colour and look alike but the first cluster was growing directly on cow dung in a grass field (tried to pick one, all came with it...) and the second on dead wood. So I'm not sure.
There is many more different species than them so I wondered if someone could direct me to some identificaiton resources? Perhaps a book, an online course?
Frankly any mycology-related info would be appreciated. I love to learn.
Thanks!
