early sulphur tuft?

[kiltoncomp]

several clumps of this on a rotting conifer stump today, thought it might have been Hypholoma capnoides at first, but the gills were a bright yellow,
by the way the slugs are going at it, i think it may well be gone before a return visit is done

Brian, I'd say you are right about it being Hypholoma fasciculare. It comes out all through the year on the right substrate, and it does go that cute colour when ageing. My experience is that H. capnoides is more common on woodchips or other debris in felled woodland not stumps.
Cheers, Alan
