June Fungi Sightings No. 1

6th June:

This fungi is growing in deep litter beneath a Blackwood tree (Acacia melanoxylon.) As it matures, I'll check gill colour and whether or not an annulus (tissue ring on the stem) is present.

I am very new to the world of mycology and as such, identifications are likely to be way out of the ballpark!

I'm taking a stab by assuming this may be Conocybe sp. as the gills are the same colour as the cap.

On the other hand, it could be Mycena sp.

This fungi was growing in litter on the south side of some water tanks. I have cattle close by but the specimens were not on cow dung.
