It can be confused with Chlorophyllum rhacodes (Shaggy Parasol) which is poisonous to some people even after cooking. The fact that the stipe on fruitbody in the photo has been scratched away and is still white (as opposed to staining red then brown) means that it is not a Shaggy Parasol.

In addition, the "snakeskin" pattern on the stipe is diagnostic of sp. procera rather than sp. rhacodes. I know many people who have eaten rhacodes and none of them had a problem.

There's not much point in telling us that it looks like a picture of honey fungus. We can only be sure if you post a picture.
The URL is the location of the picture - exactly the same as the link you posted. Usually people upload their pics to something like photobucket and link to them there. HTH

These are inkcaps. They look like very waterlogged common inkcaps, in which case you can eat them only if you stay away from alcohol for a day before you eat them and a day after you eat them.

ive seen them in sheerwood forest, and is very rare to find them there its even said to be rare to find them in the lake district so im unsure too, can anyone be certain that these are fomes fomentarius
Can you point me to the post this refers to? I've only ever found this fungus once, and that was in Scotland.
Hi There
I would be most grateful if you could identify these mushrooms / fungi for me. (LINK to Photos)
I have spent ages looking through the most comprehensive fungi book i could find (by Roger Phillips) but with no joy.
These were growing in a small deciduous woodlands next to a stream. They were in clumps of various sizes maybe up to 30 in one group. The trees nearby were oak, beech and hazel with few hawthorne and blackthorne bushes. i didnt notice any smell from the mushrooms.
Many thanks (please forgive me if i have missed anything as this is my first post.

Chap at work brought them in off his lawn before he mowed the grass.
I've looked thru a couple of my books but can't ID them and I'm a novice too!
The ones on the right are growing in pairs he said, others are just random
Also not sure if the one on top in the left group is different to the other 5. It looks like a Rusula to me but I'm not sure?
