A bright vivid orange, these mushrooms may have been 2 separate species, but I’m chancing they are the same, given their colour being identical (i.e. both throughout each individual, as well as across the group as a whole), and their proximity in space & time. It also could be that, with all of the most circular ones being smaller, that the shapes become more irregular with increasing size. Most caps were small and more or less round ,with subtle concentric rings of varied colour and texture (photos 3 & 4). Some had markedly asymmetrical caps (photo 3). The largest had an asymmetrical cap (photo 1) and the underside had thick ?gills? which branched out from the centre and sometimes doubled back on themselves. The smaller & rounder ones also had thick ‘gills’ that branched out as they approached the cap ‘s perimeter (photo 4 is of the same mushroom, viewed from the underside, and then above. Photo 4 is also for context and comparison.
