I am waiting for an expert to ID them

Well done!
Next to my animals, untouched nature is my favorite. Love mushrooms like this. As a child I used to imagine that there were tiny people living in them. Since is has no fur or feathers I will have to pass on the ID attempt 😊 Was surprised to get an email to notify me in your post. I hope this continues.
Fantastic photo and find....
Great shot,like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic shot! :-)
What a glorious colony! Love your POV here.... beautiful image!
(when you say you're waiting for someone to 'ID' these, my sub-grade sense of humor immediately looks for something not only not-funny, but utterly irrelevant...so I'll spare you today) (but don't think I didn't think about it!) Wonderful angle with lots of darkness around it, making these appear like they popped into existence in the last minute or so, which is not too far from the truth...And if I say 'fine grouping', I realize they grouped themselves but your angle and light brought out the grouping splendidly. A big cascade of a shot. Fine work, Andrea.
I dont know the name of these, but I am sure Andrea can... oh wait... this IS Andrea posting these ;-) But I think I got a picture of similar shrooms in Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/helanker/5485214838/in/album-72157625828944943/ Well I know, that wont help you. The shrooms I saw, were growing near an old stump. BTW, in the hope of being able to support you for once, I went through my big Shroom book, but unfortunately, didnt find them. Wonderful shot, Andrea.
Fantastic find and shot. The title fits perfectly. I'm not a mushroom expert but I think it could be "lubricous Pholiota" (Pholiota lubrica).
We don't have this species here, but I think you are very close!
this is wonderful, dear Andrea!
Sorry, but my acount was for a long time not activ. I have no idea why.....
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
What a great clump and near perfect I only seem to find fungi with bit eaten out of them.
A lot there & they all look healthy.
Beautiful image !!!
Shots like these always remind me of the Chinese Dance from Disney's 'Fantasia'. This is a wonderful find and a fantastic capture. Sort of like a mushroom high rise.
Great presentation of this colony
These have such a lovely buttery look to them; what a beautiful group!
Cool ones. :)
A shroom garden--how very cool!!
Nicely done!
Delightful cascade of shrooms.
What a beautiful colony of mushrooms, thanks for sharing.
