The Deceiver - Laccaria laccata

As the name suggests, this is a very variable fungus and can be difficult to identify with confidence.   The cap is initially convex  sometimes with a central depression but flattens with maturity, sometimes with small umbo.  Older specimens can become funnel-like.  The cap and stipe are usually orange brown, but the cap can be darker, pinkish-beige or paler; it changes colour depending on whether it is wet or dry.  The cap is often smooth, but can be scurfy.  The thick, waxy, widely-spaced gills are the best feature to check.  The stipe is the same colour as the cap and is tough and fibrous, usually twisted, and covered in white fibrils.
