Fungi id

Saw these on a London Plane. Right at base of butt.

Thanks

Looks like Honey Fungus in my book..

Looks too small and flimsy for honey fungus and the gills are too open.

 

What it is I don't know. Looks more like one of the many ink caps or similar.

 

A picture of the stalk might help id. The fact you can see radiating lines in the cap isn't common so that might help you track it down.

 

Edit to add, they could just be common bonnets, Mycena galericulata, which match where they were found and they care quite variable.

Thanks I’ll be on site again so could get a picture of stalk.
I did wonder if honey fungus but it didn’t quite seem right and comparing photos I agree the gills look different and the other thing you pointed out … the radiating lines in the cap, not seen that on honey fungus.

That's never Honey Fungus. Looks right for Mycena. No threat to tree anyway, might even be doing some good.
