Mushrooms after rain - please id

hallo,
southern shores of lake balaton, hungary.
after a very dry summer, it rained relentlessly and heavyliy for two days recently. these two types of mushrooms have sprung up all over the place in the garden. been here 8 years and never seen them before.
Questions: are they harmful to any plants nearby / should i remove or leave them? am preparing for winter so i expect the cold will take care of them!
cheers, karaman

 

Hi karaman They could be anything (although only the first one might possibly be honey fungus)! Suggest that you copy and paste the photos into Google images..it usually finds an exact match. Other option is to ask the neighbours, they'll tell you if they're edible.
Generally, mushrooms and toadstools spring up from mycelium which colonises humus-rich soil, old rotting tree roots, leaf mould and manure etc. but they don't affect living plants. The exception is armillaria, honey fungus which sends out black, bootlace-like strands in the soil and is pretty devastating.

 

Second one is a lawyers wig, one of the ink caps.

 

1. ?
2. Looks like Coprinus comatus...shaggy ink cap.

Coprinus comatus, Shaggy Inkcap or Lawyer's Wig mushroom

 

thanks for replies - it makes sense: there is old manure and leaf-mould in the ground so my mangetout come good --- i dont know how to do google images or do a link like silver surfer has done --- glad to get this far on this gadget!
