[franzjo]

No spore print yet , the first 2 types were found on wood and last type on ground under pines. the first types shown stain hands an orange colour, any ideas

My thought would be for the first group Omphalotus illudens Jack o' Lantern.

I agree about the first group of mushrooms being Jack 'o Lantern, Omphalotus illudens, a poisonous mushroom.

Second group looks like a species of Hypholoma. These types grow on wood and have purple-brown to dark grayish-brown spore prints.

Third group looks like it may a species of Lepista. Lepista nuda is called the Blewitt, and is widely collected for the table. But this type is not generally recommended for beginners. When fresh, the purple mushrooms may be mistaken for a variety of Cortinarius species. When the color gets washed/bleached out, like I believe is the case with the ones seen here, Lepista may be confused with Hebeloma (poisonous) or some types of Entoloma (many poisonous).

Lepistas have spore prints that are very pale fleshy-pink color. On a black background the spore print will appear to be almost white.

Cortinarius have rusty brown spore prints. Entolomas have salmon-pink spore prints. Hebelomas have light brown spore prints, kinda like coffee with plenty of cream added. A light colored Hebeloma print may be confused with a Lepista print.

Also, Clitocybes with white, yellow, or otherwise very light spore prints are easily confused with Lepistas.

Thanks for the help, I had the same conclusion on the first 2 (jack o lantern and brick caps) the 3rd one left a white spore print on black
