| |  Honey Fungus?
I'm 99% certain this is Armillaria mellea - Honey Fungus but the gills seem closer together on mine than the main example in the WAB Gallery.. see Honey Fungus
So confirmation appreciated..  
(checkout the micro-slug  ) |

Armillaria mellea in the broad sense; there are around 20 Armillarias on the GB & I list, with several varieties of A. mellea; this one is a little old |

lmao! That micro Slug is immense  .
That's Armillaria mellea alright. What else were you thinking? Another Armillaria species? |

The problem is the images on the internet for Armillaria mellea are very varied indeed, and the WAB Gallery example seems to have wider spaced gills.
But the match is positive even if it is a tad old.
The small scales in the centre of the cap, and the ring, together with other identifying features I see on your examples too tWITCH.  |
