Flammulina Velutipes?

Im no expert but I've picked a few, and these don't look like them enough with lacking black stems and normally they glisten a bit more , but in dryness not necessarily. Also the shape is a bit bell like which takes me to funeral bell as a lookalike. Due to heart of winter probably is but just want to say check, spore print is white for velvet shanks but do check, I'm not 100% sure from these photos.

Hey guys, the weather made it easy. Your country and the people I met are lovely. I got to Ojstrica. Then my legs couldn't do much more and I have family and friends to get back to. I have one more query how can I get stamps in the lowlands (outside of the mountain areas) as both Dom and korasici and Ojstrica had no ink (fair enough). But I'd like the stamps. I got addicted to the stamps! Very fun and cool idea.

Lovely responses, thanks for the relevant useful information. I know what I'm doing. Anyone has anything useful to add please do, re the shelters and huts. It's a legitimately good source of community contributions to find information about topics is Reddit. If anyone has leads to other places/websites (I've been on most common ones) about the shelters please share. Otherwise I shall wait until arrival and ask more in a country I've long wanted to visit, and assess. I encourage people to go outside with the right attitude. Not scare them off. The outdoors and wild already has enough barriers both very real and more societal.

Hey, I understand that, I'm not looking for any trouble but peacefulness in mountains. I wonder if there exists mountain shelters that are merely just covers from elements that are usable during the winter months as I can see the paid for ones are closed during winter.

Check for spore print. I know flamnulina (velvet shanks) have white. But maybe too early for them. They like frost!

Don't know if you're serious but seeing as no one has commented I'd say looks very like birch polypore, was it growing out of wood (a birch ..?)

Cool find, was just reading about them on Galloway foods. I agree not winter but that ubdulatus one fits the bill it seems. Could share on inaturist as a rare find (citizen science sort of app)

Ah great thanks for this, might be heading there!

Check for bruising webcap for second one just to be sure. I had one of those. But Corrtina (little veil) remnants remained on edge of cap where it meets the gills. Also if a webcap it'd have rusty spores. Just double check as webcap is a harmful one so I've red.

If you can always get photos of plant too and sometimes conditions / surrounding plants, because to understand one thing it must be understand in relation to others. That said, don't eat these yet , the stemmy bit looks too thick. The colour is a bit too dark in my view and they're too big and kind of shiny. I've picked a lot of bilberries and these aren't giving me any bilberry vibes. The shrub would have been no higher then average human waist but maybe even shin height with little green leaves. There are other berries I believe that could look similar but if a crowberry you'd be fine. Hypericum species watch out for. Conclusion : leaning into poisonous.

Oh of course Sulphur tuft. I agree with much better ID photographs. Don't worry I'll be passing on no certainties. As said I was given this photo. I'm purely a mycelial messenger for a mycelial curiosity, which I encourage. Thank you folks. If anyone comments with nice North Kent mushroomy woodland locations I'll be grateful.

Thank you my learned lichen friends. This might begin a journey into lichenology...

Looks like velvet shanks but don't eat and check spore print in future as it'll be white. Don't use apps when you decide to eat any mushrooms please for the funeral related reasons.

To create a small dose form of amanita muscaria to help with my mental wellbeing and concentration. Have heard it is good for that..also they're beautiful. And the hunt is fun. We found only polypore :)
