Bright orange-cap, stemmed and gilled fungi, Heeswijk-Dintherse Bossen
ID confirmed by expert. It seems these fungi only just dropped their orange spores, which would normally be distributed by the wind. If you look closely you can see the moss covered in orange.
"Gymnopilus sapineus", commonly known as Scaly Rustgill, is a small and widely distributed mushroom which grows in dense clusters on dead conifer wood. It has a rusty orange spore print and a bitter taste. It is unclear at this time whether or not this species or its relatives contain the hallucinogen psilocybin.
