Pinkish fungus growing to the size of a bread and butter plate. Some had a smooth top, most varying degrees of segregations. Some stood quite tall, 20-25 cms.
Even though some of the specimens are a little worse for ware your images and comments have captured some important characteristics. The creamy-yellow gills with smoothish to flattened ornamentation on the cap indicate that they are most probably A, ochrophyloides. Whitish, or very pale gills would be A. ochrophylla, wheras if they had pale gills and upright warts on the cap they would be A ochraceobulbosa. As there can be a bit of variation among these species and characteristics unclear they have been put all together under A. ochrophylla group. Hope I haven't confused you!
No don't apologise. It's great to see the variety that are coming up - keep uploading. This what the fungi do - leave us for months with hardly anything to find then overwhelm us with their bounty!! So over the years I've tried to learn to identify as many as I can during the 'off-season', so when the main season gets under way I have at least some of them under my belt. Though there are always new ones turning up that I've never seen before. But that's the challenge and exciting thing about fungi..........
