Yes yes a little ID help.

Sorry Gary I don't have a reference for you as this info was gleaned from the far recesses of my brain.  Plus I had looked it up in my lecture notes recently and hence was able to recall the difference quite readily.

The first nature site is quite good Gary, or Roger Philips big book is pretty comprehensive and can be picked up cheap now too...

Hmm my best guess would still be Pholiota adiposa, or possibly, the ringless honey fungus - Armillaria tabescens.

 

I guess one easy way to distinuguish Armillaria from Pholiota would to be investigate arund the infestation for the classic black "bootlace" rhizomorphs

yes - if it doesnt have a ring its not the parasitic honey fungus type if I remember correctly
