Brick Tuft Fungi ?

[Kevbert]

Multiple mushrooms sharing a common root system. Size 5 to 15mm diameter with a stem of approx 40mm long. No noticeable smell. Top felt smooth and plasticy. Gill bruise light grey. Yellow flesh does not show initial change in colour when bruised. Found next to hawthorn.
No spore print taken.
Please confirm ID.
Thanks.

These caps are not red enough for 'Brick Caps' and with those greyish gills, I would go for Hypholoma capnoides (Conifer Tuft)

This would be growing on buried conifer wood.

Thanks for the reply fairplay.
The fungi covered an area of at least 1 square metre and the wood was only deciduous (birch, hawthorn, oak), no signs of any conifers at all. The fungi was growing in decaying leaf litter.
