These fungi were on a deciduous stump. My best guess (!) is that they are ringless honey fungi. Your advice please. Thanks, Hugh

Re: Armillaria tabescens or something else?
Hi,
If they are somewhere where you can make a return visit, keep an eye on them.
Not an Armillaria species.
These are freshly emerged, but I think you'll find that they grow more recognisably into one of the Pleurotus (Oyster Fungus) species - Probably P.ostreatus.
Regards,
Mike.

Common sense is not so common.

Thanks Mike. Yes, they are on a stump that I pass when out for a local walk. I will certainly keep an eye out on their development. Cheers, Hugh
