Paxillus involutus, also known as the brown roll-rim or the common roll-rim, is a species of basidiomycete fungus. Although it has gills, it is more closely related to the pored boletes than to typical gilled mushrooms. It was first described by Pierre Bulliard in 1785, and was given its current binomial name by Elias Magnus Fries in 1838. Genetic testing suggests that Paxillus involutus may be a species complex rather than a single species. Various shades of brown in colour, the fruit body grows up to 6 cm (2+3⁄8 in) high and has a funnel-shaped cap up to 12 cm (4+3⁄4 in) wide with a

Calvatia gigantea, commonly known in English as the giant puffball, is a puffball mushroom found in meadows, fields, and deciduous forests in late summer and autumn. It is found in temperate areas throughout the world. It is edible when young.

Galerina marginata, known colloquially as funeral bell, deadly skullcap, autumn skullcap or deadly galerina, is a species of extremely poisonous mushroom-forming fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae of the order Agaricales. Before 2001, the species G. autumnalis, G. oregonensis, G. unicolor, and G. venenata were thought to be distinct from G. marginata due to differences in habitat and the viscidity of their caps, but phylogenetic analysis showed that they are all the same species. The fruit bodies of the mushroom have brown to yellow-brown caps that fade in color when drying. The gills are

Clitocybe nebularis or Lepista nebularis, commonly known as the clouded agaric, cloudy clitocybe, or cloud funnel, is an abundant gilled fungus which appears both in conifer-dominated forests and broad-leaved woodland in Europe and North America. Appearing in Britain from mid to late autumn, it is edible, but may cause gastrointestinal issues.

Tapinella atrotomentosa, commonly known as the velvet roll-rim or velvet-footed tap, is a species of fungus in the family Tapinellaceae. Although it has gills, it is a member of the pored mushroom order Boletales. August Batsch described the species in 1783. It has been recorded from Eurasia and North America. Tough and inedible, it grows on tree stumps of conifers. The mushroom contains several compounds that act as deterrents of feeding by insects.

Calocera cornea is a jelly fungus that grows on decaying wood. It is a member of the Dacrymycetales, an order of fungi characterized by their unique "tuning fork" basidia. Its yellow, finger-like, tapering basidiocarps are somewhat gelatinous in texture. In typical specimens the basidiocarps become up to 3 mm in diameter, and 2 cm in height. The hymenium covers the sides of the basidiocarps, each basidium producing and forcibly discharging only two basidiospores. It is inedible. Calocera viscosa is related.

Hygrophorus chrysodon, commonly known as the flaky waxy cap, gold dust waxy cap, or gold flecked woodwax, is a species of fungus in the genus Hygrophorus. The species is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. It is edible but bland in taste.

Protostropharia semiglobata, commonly known as the hemispherical stropharia, the dung roundhead, or the halfglobe mushroom, is an agaric fungus of the family Strophariaceae. The mushrooms have hemispherical straw yellow to buff-tan caps measuring 1–4 cm (0.4–1.6 in), greyish gills that become dark brown in age, and a slender, smooth stem 3–12 cm (1.2–4.7 in) long with a fragile ring. A common and widespread species with a cosmopolitan distribution, the fungus produces mushrooms on the dung of various wild and domesticated ruminants.

Pholiota flammans, commonly known as the yellow pholiota, the flaming Pholiota, or the flame scalecap, is a basidiomycete agaric mushroom of the genus Pholiota. Its fruit body is golden-yellow in color throughout, while its cap and stem are covered in sharp scales. As it is a saprobic fungus, the fruit bodies typically appear in clusters on the stumps of dead coniferous trees. P. flammans is distributed throughout Europe, North America, and Asia in boreal and temperate regions. Its edibility has not been clarified.

Xeromphalina campanella is a species of mushroom. Its common names include the golden trumpet and the bell Omphalina. It is a cold-tolerant species found throughout North America and Eurasia.

Russula risigallina is a species of mushroom. It was previously known as R. chamaeleontina. It is a small yellow russula that is edible and palatable, although identifying the species correctly can be difficult. This mushroom can be found in various countries throughout Europe.

Pholiota aurivella, commonly known as the golden pholiota, is a species of fungus in the family Strophariaceae.

Cyathus olla also known as the field bird's nest is a species of saprobic fungus in the genus Cyathus of the family Nidulariaceae. The fruit bodies resemble tiny bird's nests filled with "eggs" – spore-containing structures called peridioles. Like other bird's nest fungi, C. olla relies on the force of falling water to dislodge peridioles from fruiting bodies to eject and disperse their spores. The life cycle of this fungus allows it to reproduce both sexually, with meiosis, and asexually via spores. It is a relatively common fungus, with a worldwide distribution. The species is the subject

Otidea leporina is a species of fungus in the family Pyronemataceae. It was given its current name by Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel in 1870. It contains toxins which may cause serious gastric upset.

Hydnellum aurantiacum is a species of fungus, commonly known as the orange spine or orange hydnellum for its reddish orange or rusty red colored fruit bodies. Like other tooth fungi, it bears a layer of spines rather than gills on the underside of the cap. The species is listed as critically endangered in the United Kingdom. It is inedible.

Tubifera ferruginosa, more commonly known as raspberry slime mold or red raspberry slime mold, is a species of slime mold in the class Myxogastria. It is one of the most widely known and distinct slime molds, being found throughout temperate regions of the world, primarily in Europe and North America.

Cystodermella granulosa, commonly known as the brickbrown powdercap, is a species of mushroom in the genus Cystodermella.
