Fungi ID
Sorry I didn't respond earlier but I have been on holiday in a wet and almost fungus-free Devon! As I have said in the past, it is almost impossible to identify fungi from a photo unless it is unmistakable as many species need examining under a microscope for 100% certainty. However, I can often give some general indication as there is a 'jizz' about fungi as well as birds. The orange one could possibly be the False Chanterelle, as it also has orange gills, although this species usually has inrolled edges to the cap. If it is this species it is poisonous and is often confused with the delicious edible Chanterelle which has a pleasant apricot smell.
The group on the stump looks like the species now called Common Bonnet, Mycena galericulata but you have to look at the gills for positive ID.
