| | | Unidentified... possible honey fungus
I saw this growing in some woodland today, in Sussex. Honey fungus springs to mind, but I'd appreciate confirmation (or not!)  |

Hiya words. Cannae see an attached picture 
Just popped up; Slow browser 
It could be honey fungus as you say, but the absence of a ring on the stipe confuses me. I'd wait for the pros! Sorry I couldn't be much help!

No problem Nick. Just doesn't look quite like my field guide shows them. Too smooth on the cap as well. |

It's definitely not Honey Fungus. It is a Pholiota, possibly P. aurivella. There are several similar Pholiota species which you need to check to be sure, though P. aurivella is the commonest. |

Thanks Leif. Haven't yet been able to find a close match but will keep hunting through Pholiota images! |

I am pretty sure it is P. aurivella or P. adiposa. The latter has an apical ring, so you could indeed have the former. But do check the description in a good guide. | | |
