Was this taken recently?

Time of year can be important as an identification factor, especially in emerging fruitbodies such as these.

Just throwing in a best guess here, but they have a look of emerging Bulbous Honey Fungus - Armillaria gallica, or possibly a species of Pholiota?

Failing that - I'm stumped , and you need someone more knowledgeable than myself.

Regards,
Mike.

Hello,

interesting fungus, I have no clear idea what it could be. My best guess would be a Gymnopilus species, e.g. G. junonius. But the colour seems to be a bit too yellow for it.

best regards,

Hi Joe

Given the strong colour and form I would suggest possibly Tricholoma sulphureum

Hi John,
Would T.sulphureum develop fruitbodies on wood like this? (Joe says it was growing on the tree).
I'm probably wrong but I thought that all Tricholoma species were mycorrhizal with their mycelia growing in soils associated with tree roots, so wouldn't expect fruitbodies directly from wood.

Regards,
Mike.

Yes, I noted Joe's comment Mike. Noting the smell would have clinched this one I think!

These found at Clumber are very similar:

Hello,

those fungi have a distinct veil! When the cap opens, it must rsult in a ring on the stipe.
