Hi Macmad, all the smaller ants are Aphaenogaster but the big black ant is another genus, Rhytidoponera. Cheers, Jon

Aphaenogaster sp. (Genus)

Even without a view of the underside this is recognizable given the numerous dots on the cap surface. The underside of the cap has pores (not gills) and the cap tissue is so thin that evidence of the pores shows through as those dots. See Filoboletus manipularis for top and bottom views of this species.

I can just see that the gills are white, there is a ring of tissue around them (about 2/3 of the way up) and the cap is darker in the middle and (as you go outward) there are sparser, concentric rows of scales. All this points to one of the Lepiota group of genera.

Lepiota s.l.
