This large group of terrestrial, mycorrhizal fungi is typically recognised by the presence of a cortina, which is a veil of silky or cobwebby fibbers that protects the gills of a young mushroom. This collapses as the cap opens in most cases, leaving hairs on the stem or forming a well-defined ring that is then stained brown from spores. They are a very diverse group in shape, size, and colour. The large number of species makes this group difficult to identify.

These are fungi which have lost their ability to forcefully eject their spores. Instead, they rely on insects and birds to eat and carry them off for dispersal. Many are brightly coloured and found on or partially beried in the ground; some have a week stalk, while others have lost this.

The fungi below are those that I have been unable to identify beyond their genus. This is likely due to me misunderstanding the keys or a species that has not yet been described (named).
