I suspect they are Laccaria sp.. The colour looks a little yellow though that may be a photographic effect!?

Thank you. I think the photo was pretty true to the colour - maybe a bit more orange?

The next thing I'd be looking at would be spore colour if white (Laccaria) or a shade of brown then it's hard to say......... Being more yellow I'm now doubtful. It's a difficult art trying to ID from a photo

The size and colour, size and shape of the stipe (stem) and general form of the cap makes me reasonablly comfortable with the identification of Laccaria for this sighting.
