Flammulina/Pholiota/Kuehneromyces mutabilis

I thought apes were intelligent!

In the absence of a more likely contender, I'm tempted to have a stab at a group of old(ish) (and dry) Flammulina Velutipes.

Picture 1 does appear to show a bit of velvety stipe on one example, and the evidence of spore drop on pic 3 shows white spores, so that fits too.

Regards
Mike.

Oh yes, that's the shot that nails it. Not only can we see the velvet-like appearance of the stipe but we can also vaguely make out the gill attachment. I guess that proves how important shots of each part of a specimen are!
