The group found several individual fruiting bodies of the yellow Tricholoma associated with Aspen and maybe other Populus species, Tricholoma frondosae. Other trees have also been linked as ectomycorrhizal partners, but the group seemed to think the Aspen link was the most important. This also looks very like the Tricholoma equestre associated with Pines and other conifers, and they were thought to be just one joint species until 2001. Note the scales?
Phlebia tremellosa - note the spiky and often pale edge and perhaps just the start of the wiggly folds:
And here the spiky hairs are far more fully developed
Phlebia radiata, on Birch. Orange (not pale), unfringed edge helps to distinguish it
A fairly typical showing of old Datronia or now Podofomes mollis. Should bruise brown and also cutting should show a dark line between the fungus and substrate.
This is one of the more identifiable Bonnets, Mycena pseudocorticola, the Steely Bonnet, not uncommon on moss-covered trees apparently.
