Honey fungus?
I dont think it is but someone will be along shortly to tell you for sure :)
Not with caps that shape. If it's under pines it could easily be a Lactarius.
I have a pine about 6ft away Will this fungus harm anything
Definitely not. Not even you if you eat it.

Ya can eat it :o :o
With all due respect JJT, I would strongly advise Froggy NOT TO EAT IT.
It is notoriously difficult to identify different types of fungus 'in real life' let alone from a small photo on a forum.
Roger Phillips is the 'man' who wrote the book on fungus (recently updated and re-published) - I would recommend it. But STILL be extra careful when identifying edible versus non-edible funghi.

Far from harming anything, it's vital. Most land plants, but particularly conifers, which seriously acidify soil, depend on fungi to supply them with nutrients.
I doubt froglegs is dumb enough to scoff it on that say so. If he did I expect he still lives. You are right though Trixiebelle, one thing to add is if you're after identifying fungi use at least 2 field guides. The bloke who wrote the horse whisperer is pretty sick at the moment after making a mistake I believe.
ME DUMB!!! who are you calling dumb >:( i allways let the wife try them first ;) :D
Be careful like they say. Somebody died about 3 weeks ago down here and her friend has just got out of hospital. They say the 'mushrooms' they ate has the same affect as paracetemol poisoning.
