Default Honey fungus?

The message
from Kay contains these words:

Are they all honey fungus? The ones in the grass look to have thinner
caps.


All the ones I looked at were.

Once you've seen and handled and smelt them you'll always know them.
There are two forms of Armillaria mellea: one is chunkier than the
other.

There's not much you can confuse it with, except perhaps Galerina
mutabilis - and that's a much better mushroom from the culinary point of
view, and I expect many trees would think so too, but for different
reasons...
