    No worries - mushrooms can be very hard. There are many look-alikes and many species to sift through.
    These look very much like Rickenella fibula to me, especially if they are as orange as they appear in the photo and if they occur in your area.     Posted 8 years ago

      Thank you that you do not mind that I find it difficult to find the types well. Search is not my forte. I do not mind if people have constructive criticism on my record, but I can for myself not good at if you give me signs on it must point out that I have researched the species wrong.

      I have in the local bookstore a book given to the two hundred most common species in the Netherlands, I'm thinking of buying it so I am better able to find the kind of good.       Posted 8 years ago

        Ferdy may also be able to point you towards a good website that is in Dutch. I can make suggestions, (we seem to have a great many species in common) but I find it is often harder for me to find specific information outside of my area, especially when I can't read the languages. (and automatic translators don't work perfectly) Posted 8 years ago

        Mike, fungi are the hardest category of nature to identify. I have a great book at home and still get many of them wrong. In fact, if you want to be really sure, you have to take a sample home and investigate it under a microscope. You also need to photograph the underside, and sometimes even the smell can be an indicator.

        It simply is a very hard thing to do. My advise on JungleDragon is that if you're reasonably sure, you can identify the fungi. If you're far from sure, it's probably better to not identify it and share what you know in the description.         Posted 8 years ago
