Fungi as part of climax community in psammosere

It's always interesting to visit a new habitat and see completely different species.  Last weekend I went to Anglesey and found a number of fungi that I don't usually come across.  They were part of the climax community of the dune system, or psammosere.
Deadly Fibre cap Inocybe erubescens

Pestle puffball or long-stemmed puffball
Handkea excipuliformis

Purple brittlegill 
Russula atropirpurea

Common Puffball
Lycoperdon

Inocybe rimosa
Another type of fibrecap. Rimosa is Latin for cracked.
