Solved Fungi growing on tree stump

Hello,
I have these toadstools/mushrooms growing around base of a tree stump and through shingle. Not sure if they are harmful or edible and would appreciate any information please.
Many thanks in advance.

 

Looks like Honey Fungus (Armillaria species) said to be edible, normally saprophytic (living on dead wood) the fruiting bodies in the shingle probably follow a root from the stump. It has a bad reputation for attacking living trees, but the ecology is complicated and different species and strains behave differently. Mycorrhizal fungi can be protective. For more information see here Honey fungus but read other sites for different angles.

 

Sorry I fear that it is honey fungus.

Quote wiki...
"Armillaria is a genus of fungi that includes the A. mellea species known as honey fungi that live on trees and woody shrubs. It includes about 10 species formerly categorized summarily as A. mellea. Armillarias are long-lived and form the largest living organisms in the world"

All very worrying but many thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.

 

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.
