Yellow Mushrooms

Had a fun-gus filled day hiking at Mt. St. Helens. Most of the macro fauna has begun holing up and sleeping, but the wetter weather has brought out the mushrooms. Hopefully I can identify at least some of them!

We're on other sides of the planet, but quite in sync so it seems. Here too insect life has come to a halt, it's rainy, it's fungi season, and I'm struggling to identify each one :)

I tried some searching on this one but without immediate success. These resources may help, although it still does not make it easy:

The Sulphur tuft

''Hypholoma fasciculare'', commonly known as the sulphur tuft, sulfur tuft or clustered woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprophagic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.
