No. 1 is possibly a small Pholiota gummosa.
What are we looking at in no. 6? |

Hi Adam
a quick stab
Hebeloma species + Melastiza chateri in the background?
Peziza (repanda)
Bjerkandera adusta
Phlebia tremellosa
Gymnopilus penetrans

Three could be Stereum hirsutum due to the floccose surface of the bracket. |

I also think it is probably Scutellinia in the background judging by the darker rim around the apothecium which suggests a hairy rim. Bjerkandera adusta is correct.
If the last one is an orange stain on the tree bark, this is usually caused by Trentepohlia, which is actually a green alga.

Doesn't Melastiza chateri have the same dark rim but no hairs?

Ken | Even so Ken, they are very small fbs for Pholiota gummosa surely!

Mal | It does indeed Mal and I still believe it is Melastiza chateri too!

| Hi John
The characters in the photo below rule out Hebeloma and clearly point to Pholiota.
The stem and cap are both scaly and there is a ring zone on the stem. The species of Hebeloma with a partial veil have a cortina but they do not have scaly caps and stems.
The colour of the specimens, their growth form and the apparently viscid caps suggest Pholiota gummosa, which is actually very variable in size. The specimens in your photo may be at the larger end of the spectrum and those above at the smaller end. It all depends on the amount of substrate available to the fungus. The younger caps seem scalier than I usually find but the scales are clearly ephemeral because they are not present in the more mature specimens. This is typical in Pholiota gummosa.
Maybe there are other options in Pholiota, but nothing springs to mind immediately.
(I won't press my case for the ascomycete because there isn't really enough detail in the photo to come to a firm conclusion. It's down to gut feel.  )
Ken
