A few for ID please

[TeresaW]

Hi all. I've tried my best to ID these, but it's not easy, so any help would be appreciated.


These I believe to be a variety of Honey Fungus...the woods are littered with them this week.






Then I found these growing with the above, on the base of a dead horse chestnut. They are much smoother on the surface, with dark stipes, very different from the others.



Lastly, this may be too mature, but was found in a slightly boggy patch in grazed grassland on the natural floodplain nearby. I didn't notice any pony poo, but one of the ponies was tethered there a week or so beforehand.





I can't upload the gill shot, but the gills are distant, and of different lengths, pinkish brown. It was growing in a small group, this one being the largest of them. It had a very strong 'burnt' smell.

Thank you Hamadryad. Yes I thought the top ones were Armillaria, what else would they be in such profusion

Wow, Velvet Shank, (the flamulina). Another new one for me. Thanks for that.

Yep, I guessed an ID on the last would be difficult, shame I can't upload the gill shot, which might have helped. I'll give it another go tomorrow.
