I've also uploaded some pix of the undersides - does it help you
identify it?

Yes, honey fungus.
The young caps are good pickled, or cooked like you'd cook mushrooms.
Larger caps can be chopped and added to dishes, but by themselves are a
bit bland and not altogether a pleasant consistency.
Older caps and some of the younger stipes can be dried and powdered (in
a liquidiser) and the powder added to flavor and thicken stews,
casseroles, savoury pancakes, omlettes, etc.
