Great captures Jan :clap3:

I would say it was Sulphur Tuft,which can be seen all year round,but the only thing that is throwing me slightly is the very glossy/waxy appearance of the caps which i first thought was maybe a waxcap genus.The thing that sways me towards Sulphur tuft is the fact that it appears to be growing on either wood or leaf litter substrate and waxcaps,as far as i am aware,only grow on grass substrates.

I agree, Sulphur Tuft. I think the waxy look is due to being frosted. The ones here are the same.

Great photos Jan :cool1: Sorry I can't help with the i.d. but you look to have a nice little crop of them so I hope they are edible as that would be food for free!

Interesting ones there Jan, don't know what they are but have found this site and wondered if it might help with identification. In the thumbnail panels I thought number 6 looked similar in colour.

Number 5 looks very much like Lycerpodon Umbrinum and number 6 might be Coprinus Atramentarius
