Mushrooms And Fungi Of Any Kind

Found this giant lately. The cap was more than 20 cm (8 inch) diameter. almost the size of a (good old) LP ;)
Can anybody tell me the genus? @ISv do you probably know?

The genus is Gymnopilus - most probably G. junonius: I don't know if the American G. ventricosus is already present in Europe (we are in "global" times: the spread of different species from continent to continent is getting more and more speed:(). That species is pretty similar.
BTW, when you take photos of fungi and want ID it's helpful to know the substrate from which they grow. Gymnopilus is growing on wood but that wood could be under the ground...

Here are a few of many taken recently. The Amanita Muscaria (last picture) is the only one I have any confidence in identifying. I won't be eating any of them!View attachment 200828View attachment 200829View attachment 200830View attachment 200831View attachment 200832

The first one looks like Pholiota squarrosoides to me (are you in North America?), second is something around Mycena, the third is Hypholoma sp. but on the very right side of the photo I see small mushroom that could be Leucopholiota decorosa. The last two are Amanitas (the very last is A. muscaria)

And since I'm at the topic: two species (among many others) that I was not able to find in the existing literature for the Hawaiian mushrooms.
First one should be something from the old Coprinus genus (now separated in few more...). The second (two photos) is kind of Auriscalpium - looks like the Auriscalpium villipes from South America to me.DSC_1331_DxO-1.jpgDSC_1333_DxO.jpgDSC_1337_DxO.jpg

Thanks for your effort.
I forgot to mention that it was growing on the root of a dead oak. The grass was just so high that you can't see it on the photo.
So I suppose that you are right. (y)

One more Macrocybe spectabilis - from yesterday. Rare around but time to time pops up here and there. I had to crop the photo in order to smuggle it on CR. The group is ~2x bigger!
