hi Blake &amp; All,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Aug 1, 2006<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; #4 could be a <i>Lactarius</i> (exudes milky juice if flesh is broken)
or an unusually stubby <i>Pluteus cervinus or ?</i>. <br>

Hi Blake,

  <div><span class="Apple-style-span">Mushroom # 1 looks like <i>Hygrophorus
flavescens</i> (Golden Waxy Cap);</span></div>
  <div><span class="Apple-style-span">Mushroom # 2 is an <i>Amanita</i>,
probably <i>Amanita </i><i>rubescens</i> (Blusher) or <i>Amanita pantherina
  </i>(Panther) or something similar;&nbsp;</span></div>
  <div>I can't see enough of Mushroom # 3 (and my knowledge of mushrooms
is too meagre ;-&gt;) to hazard a guess;</div>
  <div>Nice photos of Mushroom # 4 but I draw a blank on this one;</div>
  <div><span class="Apple-style-span">Mushroom # 5 is also a classic <i>Amanita</i>
, probably&nbsp;<i>Amanita verna</i> (Fool's Mushroom) or <i>Amanita virosa</i>
 (Destroying Angel).</span></div>

  <div>Cheers!</div>

Last Saturday I explored Hants County with a visiting photographer, and given
our foggy wet weather this past June and July it should come as no surprise
that we photographed mushrooms and ducks.<span class="Apple-converted-space">

I have placed a selection of mushroom photographs on a web site, and if anyone
could help with the ID of the five mystery mushrooms, I'd be most grateful.
    <span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>There are also a few other
shots, including young black ducks, and a dragonfly I've tentatively identified
as a Calico Pennant.</div>
