I am only as good as my book, i guessed for a tiddler with really distant gills. The amount of gills is not a diagnostic feature just how far apart they are and how thick they are. some of the tiddy mycena have close gills, there is also a differance in a species that are 10mm and 2mm across. The juice that comes out of stem and believe it or not even some of the real tiddlers have a smell are also important features.

I would agree with both of your IDs madmike.
introducing the mushroom formal know as....
I get confused, once upon a time i knew what funnel cap was, now i am just muddled.

A good crop growing out of a stump in the garden. I think its velvet shank (Flammulina velutipes).

Definitely not velvet shanks. Is that a poplar stump? These look like frost-damaged Agrocybe cylindracea, but I'm far from certain. Caps are a weird colour for that species.
Hi Geoff.
I must admit I wasn't sure myself.
Its an old fir tree (leylandii) stump.
They are a very bright orangey colour.
Here is another shot.

Gymnopilus spectabilis/junonius (Spectacular Rustgill). Should have got that one the first time, but the colours aren't quite right in your photo. In real life, these mushrooms live up to their name. They almost shine like gold.
After a bimble in the woods yesterday ..... a few more to have a bash at 
Numbered 1 to 8 from the top ......
1. Lactarius hepaticus - liver milkcap ???
2. Baeospora myosura ??
3. turkey tail
4. southern bracket fungus ??
5.
6.
7. candle snuff fungus
8. Mycena aurantiomarginata

I started a new thread before I found this one... so here is my question a second time.
I just thought to slice it open and see if the flesh changed colour. It didn't. Here's a photo around 45 seconds after slicing, and now a good ten minutes later there is still no change.
To me, it just smells mushroomy, no acid or radish/pepper notes.
Stu responded that he thought it could be Honey Fungus.I found large clumps of this growing on grass in many parts of the town, today.
This particular example is around 12cm high with a 4.5cm diameter cap.
Others in the clump were up to around 15cm, and 8cm cap.
I've been looking around this, but haven't found a good match yet. Can any of you good people help me out?

Came across a couple of clusters of these while out walking the dog yesterday
About 3" across the cap, no yellowing or change of colour when cut or scraped, pink gills in the younger ones, brown in the older ones. The base of the stems were gently rounded but no volva. Were growing at the base of a mixed hedgerow on the edge of a field. Pretty sure they are field mushrooms but the smell when cut is quite strong, like carbolic or disinfectant, which I've read is that of the yellow stainer, except no yellowing at all. Confused !!!
Cheers, Paul

If it smells like disinfectant then it's a yellow stainer or another agaricus containing phenol. Do not eat.
Growing in my driveway between a birch tree and a leylandii hedge
Amethyst deceiver?
Not sure of this one? Looks very similar but the colour was completely different.

That looks like lepista nuda or the wood blewit to me mate. Should have a perfumed smell to it
No smell at all....
