    Are there any fungi fiends here that may be able to I.D this and, presuming it may be trouble, offer any suggestions what I should do with it?

    Maybe Boletus edulis.
    Pick one and add a pic of the underside for confirmation...it looks like a sponge.

      It may also be slug-eaten Armillaria (as I think you suspect.)

      Thanks for suggestions.
      @Silver surfer, Underside not sponge like.

      @BobTG, I know nothing of fungi so have no suspicions at all.

      I can't see any evidence of an annulus, where the cap used to connect to the stem (stipe), so it's probably not Armillaria (honey fungus) which is good news. Unless slugs have grazed the annulus off, that is..
      See here:Honey fungus: identifying mushrooms / RHS Gardening
      If you can't see evidence of an annulus on any of them, you are probably ok and can leave them or dispose as you see fit.

      Well the rain is not going to quit, so I'll just have to grin and bear it.

      Appealing to slugs it seems

      stems are hollow, tubular and easily squashed

      I can't see an annulus on any of them, so think they're probably not HF.:smile:
      They are definitely slug fodder, that's for sure!

          Thank you.
          That completely rules out my suggestion.

          Pics below are honey fungus...including the black boot laces.
